Whenever I send an email outsinde the organisation I have to put "Release-Authorised:" in the subject title, Now I have created an outlook button so if I create a new mail this automatically opens up a new mail with this in the subject line, if however I recieve an email from an external source and reply to it I have to put this phrase in or the mail bounces back :(

Is there any way to make a shortcut key for release-authorised: such as ctrl-shift-m and it automatically comes up as text?

hmmm.. dont know!

What about creating a custom AutoCorrect entry for a strange sequence of characters that will auto correct to what it should be?

i.e ra: will auto correct to Release-Authorised:?? Just a suggestion.

You can add a macro to thisoutlooksession (if you have access)....

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)

If UCase(Left(Item.Subject, 3)) = "RE:" Then

Item.Subject = "Release-Authorised:" + Item.Subject

End If

End Sub

and it will automatically add the phrase to the start of the subject line whenever you reply to an email...
