asked on

prompt to save sent messages

hello -

i would like to be asked whether or not to save my sent messages. lotus notes has this type of feature but i cant seem to find the same functionality in 0utlook 2003. i am already aware of how to save the sent messages using the tools -> options menu.

in an ideal world, after composing a message and clicking send, i would like a dialog box to pop up and ask if i would like to save the message with simply a "yes" or "no" selection, with the "yes" being highlighted when the box pops up.

any and all solutions are welcomed. vb, rules, etc.

thanks!

AFAIK there is no feature built onto outlook by default to do this.
Hi hinchah,

I'm pretty sure I can do it with a script.  I'll post the code shortly.

Cheers!
