Create Outlook mail using default template

  • 13 years ago
    If I click the New-button in Outlook, an new email-item is created, using our companies email template. However, if I use code like this to create a new email-item, I get a blank email without formatting.

        Dim app As Outlook.Application
        Dim em As Outlook.MailItem
        Set app = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
        Set em = app.CreateItem(olMailItem)
        With em
            .To = "[email protected]"
            .Subject = "test"
            .Body = "testbody"
            .Send
        End With
        Set em = Nothing
        Set app = Nothing












    - So how can I create a new mail item based on our companies email template?
    - If I have to use CreateItemFromTemplate, how can I retrieve the path to the default email template?
    - Before actually sending, I want the user to be able to add some text to the body, and to allow the user to manually send the email whenever he is ready. How can I achieve that?
