Default change mail format for contacts



That doesn't matter as the code is already written.

- Download and install the Redemption.
- Open the VBA editor (alt+f11)
- If the explorer isn't visible, open it with ctrl+r
- Double click "ThisOutlookSession" to ensure the module is open
- Copy the code into that window (ThisOutlookSession).
- Decide whether you want to set the format to AutoFormat or to
PlaintextOnly.
- The current setting is Send_Auto_Format. if that's fine you don't need to
change it.
- The code iterates your default contact folder, and changes the format for
every found Email1Address.
- Run the code by pressing f5. If you'll get prompt, choose the
ChangeSendingFormat function. (If the cursor is within the function, you
won't get a prompt, and the executions starts immediately).

Does it work for you?

Unfortunately, I think this code is way over my head.

For running the example you also need to install the Redemption
(www.dimastr.com), which is free for your private use.

For the iphone, attachments come over as winmail.dat and the solution is

to
change the mail format in options, mail format to HTML.

Also the individual contacts needs to be changed by double clicking the
email address and changing the internet format to Send Plain Text only.

After these changes are made, the attachments come over fine. I have had
problems with this issue with some contact before. I would love to be

able
to
make this change globally instead of having to edit all contacts. Can

this
be
done.
