change mail format for contacts
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. |

change mail format for contacts
It can be done with some VBA code, which you'll find he http://www.vboffice.net/sample.html?...2&cmd=showitem For running the example you also need to install the Redemption (www.dimastr.com), which is free for your private use. -- Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook Manage and share your categories: http://www.vboffice.net/product.html?lang=en Am Tue, 9 Mar 2010 15:24:16 -0800 schrieb Anne: For the iphone, attachments come over as winmail.dat and the solution is to change the mail format in options, mail format to HTML.

For those contacts for which you change the Internet format to "Send Plain Text only", you will not be able to send HTML messages. That setting overrides the setting in ToolsOptionsMail Format. You want to choose "Let Outlook decide the best sending format." -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

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

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? -- Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook Manage and share your categories: http://www.vboffice.net/product.html?lang=en Am Wed, 10 Mar 2010 09:34:04 -0800 schrieb Anne: Unfortunately, I think this code is way over my head.

What version of Outlook? Do you ever need TNEF support? If you use Outlook
2007 SP2 and don't ever need TNEF, see "if all else fails...
