Send HTML email in Outlook 2010 - no 'Insert as Text' option? - email

I am trying to send an HTML email via Outlook 2010 using the 'Attach File' option, on several articles it says there should be an 'Insert at Text' option but I only seem to have an 'Open' option, does anyone know why it is not showing correctly for me?

I had trouble finding it as well. Found the steps online so i will replicate it here for you. Click on the button on the top after the undo button (looks like an inverted eject button) and choose More Commands
Once the window is open, look for attachments. If you are not able to find it, change the dropdown above it Choose commands from: to find it. Once found add to the right side of the screen and press ok.
Now the attachment icon will be visible on the top ribbon. Now you should be able to see the Insert as Text option when you want to insert a HTML template.
Hope the above steps is the answer you were after.
Since you are creating emails, just a quick note:
Media queries will not work when you send emails thru outlook. Outlook has a habit of stripping it out completely.
Web fonts will not work. Strips it out as well.
Cheers

How to take screenshot of an Outlook.com email message?

With Gmail, you could print the message which opens a new window with just the email message, then you can use any screenshot Chrome extension to capture the entire page.
However Outlook.com messages are always in a frame(?) and screenshot tools can't scroll through the message. How would you save the email to an image file this way?
You can also use the print option in Outlook, and save as a PDF.
In the message preview, the three dots on the far right gives you a print version.
Only limitation here is it could mess with the design a little.
In the same three dots, mentioned above, there is also an option 'Open in a new window.' This isn't really the best solution as it annoyingly opens a popup, rather than another tab. This disadvantage here is that it doesn't allow you to use any screenshot browser extensions.
By far the best option is to use the 'Open in browser' link, if supplied in the email template. But obviously, not everyone is as helpful as that so it may not be an option supplied by the sender.
Sometimes opening in a browser only gives you a text document, not full HTML. However, you can ctrl + C to copy the full email and the ctrl + V to paste it into a blank Microsoft Word Document and then save as a PDF.
I have MS Outlook 2016 and it does not give me the option to save as a PDF from the print file.

Network Diagram, Word etc

Making a word document of our network set-up.
We have about 7 servers and I need to include screenshots and other info on each.
Is it possible to have a pic of the server that when clicked will open up another word doc that reveals all of the other info. Can this then be mailed to someone easily?
I think that you should have actually tried to do it in Word before asking. The answer is trivial. For completeness sake:
Right-click on the image, choose "Hyperlink..." from the menu. Select the document you want from the resulting standard file selection dialog.
That's it. Doing ctrl-click on the pickture will open up the document selected though you will probably get a security warning first.
You can also do it from a VBA macro. First select the desired image and then:
ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection.Range, Address:= _
"C:\Users\me\Documents\a-document.doc", SubAddress:=""
So you could automate the process of server discovery (or maybe you have the data in a spreadsheet that you could use), adding images and hyperlinks automatically. Probably not worth it for just 7 servers.
I'm not clear what you mean by the last part about emailing. Do you want to email the Master word document or the one opened after clicking on the hyperlink? Either way, Word has a menu option for doing this.
If you are wanting to send the document that is opened from the hyperlink - do you actually need the user to open that document or would you rather email it directly? A simple macro can be written that will ask you for the target email address and send the document directly without having to open it. There are really too many possibilities to write down here - we need more information.

Display Message Box to copy code section from it using Powershell script

I am building install.ps1 script for Nuget pacakge and would like to open popup message at the end with some message , i have already achieved by following.
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms")
[Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("Test message ", "Test", [Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons]::OK, [Windows.Forms.MessageBoxIcon]::Information)
It will open popup message as per shown in below fig.
Instead of this i would like put some config code here that user can copy from box as per below fig
Please suggest me if anyone has done similar popup box before!
You won't be able to customize Windows.Forms.MessageBox to add what your looking for. In order to do what your looking for you'll need to create a custom form. An easy way of doing this is to use Primal Forms Community Edition which can be found here. You'll need to register for free to reach the download. There's a paid for version to so don't confuse that with the free CE edition. This tool gives you a Visual Studio like forms editor where you can drag and drop controls to a form and save the Powershell script. You'll need to create an event handler for the copy to text to clipboard button. After you saved the code generated by PrimalForms CE you will need to edit it to add the code for the event handlers. An example of how you can set the clip board with Powershell can be found here.
Users can copy the message box text simply by pressing the Ctrl+C key combination.

Email sent by SAP Workflow has partial Web hyperlink

I think this might be a simple question but I cannot seem to figure it out.
I have a workflow which simply sends a mail. In the content of the mail I
have a hyperlink going back to our SAP CRM system. I pass some parameters to this hyperlink.
The workflow works fine and the email is sent, however, the hyperlink goes onto the second line of the mail and becomes in active. If I copy the entire hyperlink and paste it in a browser it works.
The issue is I don't want users to copy and paste, I simply want them to click on the hyperlink.
Here is a screen print of what I am talking about

And here is a screen print of the actual email that is sent:

I tried going into transaction PFTC (Task Maintain) I entered my task and opened it up. I went to the tab description
and hit the edit button and I changed the tag column to continuous text but that didnt work, and then I tried extended line
and that too didn't make a difference.
Here is a screen shot of that:
http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/6254/37776438.png
My question is, is there any way to get the hyperlink on one line or even to have it be clickable on 2 lines?
Thanks so much.
From what I can see, that's a limitation of SAPconnect when sending plain-text emails. You could reconfigure the system to send HTML mails, but this would affect EVERY outgoing mail and should be handled extremely cautious. I'd suggest you write a small class to assemble and send the HTML mail and call it from the step. I'd use the BCS for sending the mail - it has an excellent online documentation and comes with several demo programs (BCS_EXAMPLE_*). You could assemble the HTML body using ABAP, although this usually yields rather messy code. Cleaner ways of ding this would be to either put all of the input data into a structure and use a simple transformation or dynamic documents (see for example report DD_ADD_LINK).

Lotus Notes email as an attachment to another email

This is in Notes 8.5 environment.
I just wanted to know how to attach an email to another email as real attachment not a "Document Link".
I intended to attach an email, so I drag & dropped an email to another email's body but this turned out to be a "Document Link". This is an issue when I deleted the original attachment(an email in this case) and want to open the attachment again.
Tried to drag & drop the email to desktop and attach that through the "Choose file" dialog, didn't work either.
So how can I do that? I'm trying to get the attachment programmatically.
The only way I know is this:
Reassure that preferences | Basic Notes Client configuration | Drag and drop saves as eml file is checked
1) Drag your email to e.g. your desktop or to an explorer instance (will be saved as an eml file).
2) Attach this file to your opened email by either selecting it with the paperclip menu item or drag 'n drop the file into the opened email.
Open msg
Save to desktop
Open new mail
Attached *.eml file on desktop
Sad to say, this is the only way I know which sux because in Outlook, you just need to copy and paste.
Answer from Chris is not possible
because there is no save mail option
(at least in version 8.5) in LN
It is possible, File > Save As
answer from Alexey creates MS Outlook eml files, so if you don't have Outlook e-mail client doesn't help.
Answer from Chris is not possible because there is no save mail option (at least in version 8.5) in LN.
So one of the possible solutions would be to hold control, select all mails you want to attach, right click on the selected mails, from the menu select Forward and it will open the new message with all selected mails in the body of the new message.
You can slecet sent item /email and drag to desktop , it will automatic created new file on desktop. Then you can attach and send it in to new emails.
I have recently encountered the same issue and hopefully what follows will be helpful.
In Windows, the default program for opening .eml files is set to Outlook. Every user of Lotus notes should take the steps to have .eml files defaulted to open via Lotus notes.
Start menu--- Defaults programs---Lotus notes-- and check .eml--- then save.
After performing this, Lotus notes will be the default to open these attachments.
I have been trying to do this for a while also.
Here is what I do now.
Highlight the email you want to create as a file.
Click on Create. Hover over Special, then click on Link message.
This will open up a new tab for the link.
At the bottom of the message is a small yellow piece of paper icon.
Copy this icon and paste into your message like you would any other file.
It is tiny, so I put a statement like "see email attachment ---->" in front of the icon.
You might like this way. Not sure though.
Tested vith Notes versions 6.5.x and 7.0.x
From your Lotus Notes inbox
Open the message
Click View > Show > Page Source
Copy all the data into a text file and save the file with .eml extension.
Create a new message
Attach the .eml file(s) and send the new message
Hop this helps. I have no client on my current machine but will test from home on 8.5.1
Copy the mail as a document link (right click on the mail and you should get this option) and paste it in the new mail. This worked for me
Talking about IBM Notes v. 9 is pretty easy.
To choose the e-mail to be attached and drag until the new e-mail.
Click on email which you want to forward
Edit - > Copy As -> Document Link
create new mail and paste.
it will work
If you are using Lotus Notes V9.X, it is better to drag the mail to desktop as .eml and then attach it to the mail. Safest way so far.
Although probably not exactly what your looking for and you probably don't care at this point since the question was asked 5 years ago, one method is to use "forward".
Go to your inbox or wherever your messages are and select the 2+ messages you want to send than simply click forward... all messages get combined into 1.
I might be very late but encoutered this problem sometime before and saw this link.
Thanks . Please check this shall work.
Goto Create menu -> Section--> Copy email to be inserted
