Clause: "reply using a <specific template>" You'll have to define the template used in your auto-reply rule. Hit F1 and read Outlook's help on how to create a template (searching on "stationery" turns up better articles). Basically you start composing a new e-mail with whatever style and content you want and then save it as a template instead of sending it. I would suggest not using anything fancy in your auto-reply; i.e., don't use HTML and instead just use plain-text to ensure the recipient's of that auto-reply can actually read it.

I saved the template to the templates folder eg Auto Receipt.oft Then I created a rule which said if I get an email from fred(a)somewhere.com send C://program files/Microsoft Office/Templates/1oo3/Auto Receipt.oft (the path is made up) but this did not work. Which bit is wrong? -- Jim S Tyneside UK www.jimscott.co.uk |
