My default email client is Windows Live Mail. When I right click on a file and select Send To->Mail Recipient Windows Live Mail New Message Window pops up, file is attached but body and subject are filled and I want them to be empty. Also, I want to Recipient (To: field) be filled with predefined address. What I found out so far:
Windows Live Mail (WLM) doesn't support automation via VBA so can't use vb scripting. Open Default E-mail Client using .Vbs file.
Note that you cannot attach files from the command line so can't create custom shortcut in Send To folder. Create a Message in Windows Live Mail or Outlook Express from the Command Line

I am developing an Outlook 'on-send' add-in which loads a dialog box if the email is addressed to multiple recipients after the send button is pressed. In the dialog, the user confirms the intended recipients from a list and then presses send. The add-in then allows the send event to happen.
A problem arises if the emails are not formatted correctly; Outlook throws a ‘does not recognise email’ error after trying to send the email. The problem is that when I try to send the email again after the error, the add-in does not load. The add-in should load every time the user tries to send an email to multiple recipients.
Please see a video of this behaviour here: https://youtu.be/U1VFuy1qbHM
As you can see from the video, the email goes to my Outbox fine after the first send. However, Outlook throws an errors when I edit the email in my Outbox and try to send it again (presumably because I was using a made up email to test with). As you can see, if I then update the emails and click send, the email sends without the add-in loading again. The intended functionality of the add-in is that another dialog box should be displayed in this case.
This behaviour also occurs when you reply to an email where the recipient has their email address formatted differently. For example, 'Name Surname (name.surname#domain.com)' instead of 'Name Surname <name.surname#domain.com>'. Outlook does not seem to like this format and throws a similar error after trying to send the email. After updating the email format and clicking send, the add-in does not load again.
The error occurs in Win32.
I do not think the problem is with the Javascript. I think the add-in does not even load when I try to resend the email. Maybe the add-in is somehow holding onto the ‘True’ value of the on-send event from the previous dialog box? I have tried editing the different ‘ReadorEdit’ values in the Manifest file to try and ensure the add-in loads for all cases but it has not helped.
What can I do to ensure the add-in loads after these errors?
Thank you for your help- it is very much appreciated.
I've a big problem because some eml file that are imported in the customer repository (IBM ECM) and retrieve from IBM Content Navigator.
This client demand the opening of this kind of file to the operating system and therefore to MS Outlook.
It occurs only for some of the emails and, by exporting the email and opening it with a test editor, it becomes clear that the problem is due to a series of null characters placed as the last line of the body of the email (I've attached a screenshoot).
Is there a way to allow Outlook to view these emails correctly?
Thinderbird for example also opens these emails without problems but the custome cant use this client, only MS Outlook is permitted.
Thank you in advance
email body
I am creating an addin for Outlook.
I want to check some text on sending, but im not sure how to reference it
The text is in the image below and says “Attachment will be sent using...”
If the text equals the text displayed, i want to do something.
Thanks for any advice.
The Outlook object model doesn't provide anything for reading mail tips. But you may consider using EWS for getting mail tips. See Using MailTips in EWS to get the OOF (Out of Office) Status of users with C# and Powershell for the sample code.
FYI MailTips are informative messages displayed to users in the infobar in Outlook Web App and Outlook 2010/2013/2016 when a user does any of the following while composing an e-mail message:
Add a recipient
Add an attachment
Reply or Reply all
Open a message from the Drafts folder that's already addressed to recipients
To configure MailTips for mailboxes, external contacts, and distribution groups, in the Exchange Control Panel, select the mailbox, external contact, or distribution group, click Details, and then in the MailTip section, create the MailTip.
To configure MailTips for mail users and dynamic distribution groups, in Windows PowerShell, use the MailTip parameter on the Set-MailUser and Set-DynamicDistributionGroup cmdlets.
Regardless of whether you use the Exchange Control Panel or Windows PowerShell, two things always happen when you add a MailTip to a recipient:
HTML tags are automatically added to the text. For example, if you enter the following text: This mailbox is not monitored. The MailTip automatically becomes the following: <html><body>This mailbox is not monitored.</body></html>
The text is automatically added to the MailTipTranslations property as the default value. If you modify the MailTip text, the default value is automatically updated in the MailTipTranslations property.
Read more about that in the Configure MailTips article.
When one selects a file in windows file explorer and right click, there is a context menu "Send To/Mail Recipient". If you click it, your default mail client is launched. In the "From" field, you see your email address is filled by default.
My goal is to retrieve this email address using C# or some other language (silently, without invoking the web client).
Please give me some advice. Thanks.
We want to make it for users of our (Java) application as easy as possible to send bug-logs to us. First, we imagined to open a bug-report page of our website and prefill an up-load-input field with the path of the file to upload, but this does not work for security reasons.
Is it possible on OS X (command line call, Apple Script, what ever) to open a new e-mail in the default e-mail client and add a certain file as attachment?
You can do this from the command line (terminal). Here's an example:
open -a Mail filetosend.ext
This opens the Mac Mail app, creates a message and attaches the file, ready to send.
Unfortunately there's no standard way to attach a file; you'd have to write a separate script for any of the many email clients the user has installed, and that's assuming they actually use an email client—many people use Gmail, for example.
If you can't encode the information in text, you can just submit the report by HTTP(S) yourself. There are several open source frameworks that can help with this, such as FeedbackReporter (which uses HTTP) and UKFeedbackProvider (for email).
Does it necessarily have to be an attachment? You could inline text based info in the message body using the bog standard mailto: URL which would work in any OS and any email client.
