I am a messaging old-timer, going back to the days of PINE and ELM and RBBSMail. I like to reply to message like this:
>You said
I reply.
Actually the old days the mail client did it by initials so it looked like this:
YS>You said
AK>I reply.
I get a lot of HTML mail, which I see a a waste of storage. I reply as text with the the following code:
Sub ReplyAsText()
Dim rply As Outlook.MailItem
Dim item As Outlook.MailItem
Dim retval As Integer
Set item = GetCurrentItem()
item.BodyFormat = olFormatPlain
retval = MsgBox("Reply to all as text? No is just sender.", _
vbYesNoCancel + vbQuestion + vbSystemModal, _
"Reply to All?")
If retval = vbCancel Then Exit Sub
If retval = vbYes Then
Set rply = item.ReplyAll
Else
Set rply = item.Reply
End If
rply.Display
item.Close olDiscard
Set rply = Nothing
Set item = Nothing
End Sub
