If an *.oft extension is an Outlook template, how to make one then...
I'm occupied with a rule issue.
I have a MS office rule that if a message is send to a certain person, the message is to be answered with a speciffic message.
Up to the "send to a certain person" thingie everything is OK. But I cannot select an option to reply other then with a standard template in c:/program files/microsoft office/templates/1043 which name is "mail.oft". This "mail" contains nothing and it is not possible to change and Safe it.
So:
How can I make templates of the *.oft type
Or:
Is there another solutions to combine with the MS Outlook rules

Another related question, if you would be so kind.
I changed the format the way you said. The disadvantage however now is that the message doesnt show bolt letters and more importand: an emailadres written in the mail (template) is:
"HYPERLINK "mailto:name@domain.nl" name@domain.nl "
When I only typed name@domain.nl
The whole "hyperlink" etc is not verry represenable.
any Idea?

hi again,
i did a little bit of in-breeding and found your answer:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21200875/Formatting-an-oft-Rules-Wizard-Reply-HYPERLINK-bold-text-etc.html
(short answer: because the html template converts to rich text when it is saved as an *.oft file, all the other garbage gets added in; how to avoid it--write "mailto:" in front of the email address, like <mailto:yourname@isp.com> and that's how it will appear in the template reply)
unfortunately i don't have an answer for bold text, but this will help clean up the message quite a bit.
best of luck-

If Outlook converts all OFT files to rich text, then how do you save HTML templates? I have saved it as HTML, but it opens as plain text.

At least better then the weird microsoft way of working.
