HOW
TO MAKE AN E-MAIL TEMPLATE
If you want to preserve
some time (who doesn't) you can prepare a template e-mail message.
First in Outlook
Express (although it probably works in other e-mail programs as well),
start a new message (press the Compose New Message button. In this message
you can select the Stationary you want to use, the signature and/or
any other standard text you want to send with all your messages. Now
save your message (click File > Save As, and give it a name (save
as a *.eml type).
Add a shortcut (or
the file itself) to your Quick Launch bar (\Windows \ Application Data
\ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Quick Launch), or on the Desktop.
Now if you want to send a new message, just click the shortcut.
Some people have
been complaining that it is not possible to send a CC (Carbon Copy)
or BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) of all outgoing messages to an other e-mail
address, well now you can! Using the template just add the address you
want to send the CC or BCC to, and safe it.
If you use the template
with version 5 of Outlook Express, you will probably already have noticed
that OE deletes the template as soon as you used it once. You can "fix"
this by making your *.eml template Read-only. To do this, open Windows
Explorer and find your *.eml template. Right-click on it, and from the
contect menu choose Properties. Check the box in front of the Read-only
attribute, press Apply and OK.
