Every day I like to learn something new about a software I’m using.
In fact, I’ve been doing this for the last 15 years.
Let’s say I do this 300 days a year (allowing 65 days when I just miss it, which is much higher than actually happens, but it’s a good round figure for this point), this means 300 x 15 years = 4500 things I’ve learned about my computer – hardware and software. Of course, this type of learning is like an savings account earning interest. I couldn’t even begin to calculate how much interest it’s earned for me over the years.
Well, anyway…
Have you ever had someone forward your email message without
your permission and it came back to haunt you?
Well I have. It wasn’t a message bad mouthing anyone either. The good that came out of this was my research into how to stop this from happening again. Was there a way to set up a message so it couldn’t be forwarded or replied to all?
Upon researching Microsoft’s Outlook 2007 website, I found there was a way.
There are a few limitations they mention, however, I had a beginning.
What I liked, it also gives me a choice on what emails to use it on. In other words, I don’t need to use it on all emails (unless I want to).
Interested in learning more? The direct link to the instruction page on Microsoft’s website is below. By going there, you’ll not only find written directions but two videos that will walk you through how to set up custom forms (the method you would need to use), and then how to send out an email using this custom form.
And tomorrow, since today’s journey lead me to this topic, I’m going to learn more about setting up custom forms.
Here’s the direct link.
If you use Firefox, I’m sure they have a similar method – probably one that’s even better.
Since there are so many email clients out there, I can’t go into the details for all of them. Just be curious and see if yours offers a similar know I believe this is a great feature to learn and worth learning.
