I would like some assistance with this matter as I've only been able to get a regular email to open directly from sheets when inserting an E-Mail Hyperlink.
The current code that I have is =hyperlink("mailto:#gmail.com&Subject=TEst&Body=TEst%0Aand%0ATest%202", "Email").
I need a way for the link to open specific outlook email templates that are located on my desktop.
Thank you for any light you can shed on the subject.
Best,

There is no way to get the job done.
If you use an Internet Explorer you may consider automating Outlook from a script. But this solution will not work in other browsers. See Compose and Send E-mail from JavaScript by using Outlook Automation 2007 for more information.
The only possible solution for all browsers is to use the mailto: protocol for opening a pre-filled new mail item.

For Personal knowledge management (PKM), it would be useful to be able to get a link that opens a specific email (opening in the application MAIL, more precisely). I believe this is possible for online-based email systems like gmail. Would this be possible for desktop-based applications, like MAIL (Mac)? This would facilitate a lot PKM workflows. Thanks in advance!
I'm wondering if it is possible to extend Gmail, by adding a button in email context menu or other control. My Goal is to export mail or selected mails to external server.
Is it possible to accomplish that using Gmail Gadget or Google Apps Script?
If adding a custom control isnt possible i will accept any other way to export mails and integrate gmail with external system.
To extend your gmail interface, you can write a contextual gadget. See https://developers.google.com/gmail/contextual_gadgets for getting started.
You can also achieve the same i.e. read an email and post it to an external server by using Google Apps Script. Read the documentation of GMailApp to get started
GMailApp doesn't support UIs and Dialogs as well as Events and Triggers.
We have a newsletter that uses media queries to display it in a responsive format for smaller screens. It displays as it should in Outlook, but when the email is forwarded on, it appears that Outlook is removing the media query code. We are using Outlook to send the email since we have exchange lists that we need to include. Does anyone know if there is a way around Outlook removing the media query code when forwarding, or another way to send an email with media queries through Outlook?
Unfortunately Outlook uses it's industry famous Microsoft Word render engine to reinterpret html email. This means that when forwarding, your email is full of MS garbage and, in this case, removing some of the original wanted code.
I've had issues with some corporate exchange servers stripping media queries - I think caused by their security software. Try sending to a different domain.
Best way to see if it is stripping your media queries is to check your email code. Scroll to the bottom of your email and right click>view source just inside your Outlook viewing window.
If sending to a different domain doesn't work, I'm afraid you may be out of luck as there is no way to force Outlook to preserve your original code.
Are you sending the newsletter via an Outlook email merge?
If you want better control, use a email newsletter service like Aweber or Constant Contact.
Granted, you need your contacts to opt-in but this shouldn't be a big problem if they want your newsletter.
Our system sends a "Daily Update" email via Reporting Services to all users each morning. If people are on a computer there's no issue. But, for users on the go, some mobile device email clients can't render the email. However, they can all render pdf files.
So... the quick fix was to create two subscriptions for each user; one with the message in the body and one with the message in an attached pdf. This creates an annoying amount of friction. I'd love to send a single email with the message in the body a duplicate pdf version attached.
Is there a simple solution?
FYI, we're managing this through Reporting Services Subscriptions.
By default, no: you can't have both formats in one email
The report "render format" determines whether inline or attached if you check "Include Report". So setting to "PDF" will generate an attachment. However, if you check "Include Link" for PDF rendering then folk can click and go to the report served by the Web site.
Otherwise, you'd have to write some small app that calls the ReportServer service and gets both report formats and combine into one email. Or write your own custom delivery extension
I think it is better to use Database Mail. You can manage it to send e-mail or SMS or even both of them to your subscribtion list.
I'm not sure that you can send a single email with the message in the body a duplicate pdf version attached.
If I understood it correctly, you want to send an email with attachment in pdf and this pdf will have same text/data as that in email body, right?
If that is the case then don't you think "Include Report" with "Render Format" in PDF will give you desired result?
I have created a custom Outlook form in 2007 and I have some receipeints that need to visualize it but do not use Outlook as their email program. Is it possible to make changes to the Form to ensure that they are able to view the form as an email?
I don't think so.
