Dear mighty all,
I have an Outlook add-in called "Bells and Whistles for Outlook" by DS Development (
http://www.emailaddressmanager.com/). It is a neat piece of software letting me dow many things, message auto-numbering included.
It works like this.
1) I create a new message
2) the subject field already includes something like "[12345]"
3) I type the subject like "[12345] My message subject"
Next time I create a new message, my message counter increases by 1 ([12346]) and the whole story repeats. When I get a reply, this add-in recognises that this is its own number and the subject looks like
"Re:[12345] [1] My message subject"
So far, so good...
However I noticed that there is no activity on the developer's site for more than 4 months by now. I am afraid that this software developer went bust. Do not get me wrong, the add-in still works! But with every new patch for Outlook and other add-ins the cahnces it will stop working get higher and higher.
I desperately need this auto-numbering feature and will gladly replace "Bells and Whistles" for something else which has support.
Can anyone give me an idea:
1) if there is another add-in that can at least autonumber outgoing emails?
2) is it possible to autonumber ougoing emails with a simple VB script?
Thanks a million in advance!
