Change default mail message template
I have designed a header, border, background and signature that I'd like to be standard in all my outgoing email messages. New mail & replay mail, I want to automatically use this with all of it. I have been search ing for an hour but I can't find a solution. I have installed Office 2007 Ultimate so the entire office suite is of the same version and was installed at the same time. What is the easiest way to do this?? Seems like something that would be on a big button up in the toolbar (like a lot of people would want it) but they hide it or make it very hard to use. I dunno, please help. Thank you!

I actually answered this using the help of a previos post, after I'd already typed my message. It explained how to set up my template as a webpage and then drop it in the stationary folder. Then I was able to set it as the stationary. Thanks for the answer!
War1,
I was wanting to know the same thing as GeoffLamb1, I looked at the link above but couldn't see how I can set the template I created as the default in outlook, e.g. so that when you hit "New" on the outlook toolbar the email template I created comes up instead of the default outlook one?
thanks,
Dominic

I just created the the new template in word and saved as a webpage. Then went to windows explorer and moved the file from the documents folder to the stationary folder for outlook (probably in a different location on each computer) Then, you can set the stationary in outlook to your custom stationary instead of the garbage they give you. There may be an easier/better way, just thought I'd share. Good luck.
War1,
Thanks for that web page on how to create a custom template. It doesn't state though how to make it the default. The problem I'm having is a user would like to print out her emails that include the BCC line by default instead of having to go in and change the form everytime.

You can create an email template and set it as the default. Here is how to create a template in Outlook 2007
