I use MS Office Outlook 2007, and sometimes it converts email address as "FirstName LastName". When double click, it opens Contact form, but nowhere email address to copy into clipboard.
How is it possible to copy to clipboard email address if it uses contact?
Thanks!
I had the same question. You can right click on the user entry and select "Send Mail" to open a new email to the user with the email address in the To field instead of the "Firstname Lastname" format. Copy the email address to the clipboard and close the new email window.
If you need to copy several addresses, you can find them in the raw internet headers:
Go to the Inbox or folder that contains the message.
Right-click on the message with the addresses.
Select "Message Options"
Scroll down in the "Internet Headers" box until you find the addresses.
Highlight and copy the desired address(es).
This method has the advantage that the Message Options window will remain open until you click the 'Close' button.
If you start a new mail, and enter their name in the usual manner, you can right-click and do "Add Contact". That opens a page where their email address is listed as copyable text. Hightlight and copy the address, close the window, and tell it not to save any changes.
This is a long work around I found, but is only beneficial if you have huge list and you want only the email addresses separated from the names because it has several steps. First click on the email that you want to copy the addresses from. Select all the email addresses you want and then copy them. Select your contacts folder and create a new contact group. Select add members and add the members from the address book. When the address book pops up paste the names that you copied from the email address. Select OK. Now that you have your new contact groups, on the file tab save as rich text format. Once you have saved it as rich text format, copy and paste the names and email addresses from the rich text page. Take that information you just copied from the rich text format page and paste it into an Excel spreadsheet. Here you see that the names and email addresses have been separated.

I know we can add a unsubscribed link in the template so when sending email there will be unsubscribed link at the bottom. It will show the preferences page. This page is created by sendgrid.
Is there a way to create our own unsubscribed screen instead? That way if someone modified their email in our system we can have control the unsubscription.
There are two things possible;
If you would like to use a custom URL for your unsubscribe link, from the Editor, navigate to Settings in the left-hand sidebar and select the Recipients dropdown menu. Under Unsubscribe Group, select Use Custom Link...
This will expand a new field where you can insert a URL for one of your own pages where recipients can manage their subscription preferences.
To place your Custom Unsubscribe link into your email, highlight any text within the body of your email and click the small link icon to specify a hyperlink. In the URL field that appears, enter the tag {{{unsubscribe}}}. Since you've specified your Custom Unsubscribe Link in the Settings panel, SendGrid will replace the Unsubscribe Tag with your custom URL.

I was wondering would it be possible to create some sort of ms access form, where you would be able to upload any file and then be able to enter an email in another field, click a button, and send an email with said attachment to the entered email. So far I have the form created with an attachment field and below that I have a button and an empty field where the user can input an email that they would like to send the attachment to. My initial idea was to hard code the button to pull the attachment and send it to the desired email address using the .SendObject() function but i didn't find parameter for an attachment that I could send using the function.
:
In the highlighted box is where users can add any number of attachments and in the box to the right of the send button is a text box that would allow users to put in an email address that they would like to send it to.
If there is a better way of doing this with forms please let me know, I'm always up for learning new things.
You can interface with the outlook objectmodel to create a mailitem, then .send the message and .attach a file, but the file has to be accessible to the filesystem. If the file were embedded in access, you would have to export it out, then attach it. This link and this link should give you a good idea of how this process works.
If you don't have outlook available, then you will either need software that has a VBA compatible API, or you can use a webservice to post the mail, but both of those options are far to massive to talk about here, unless you can provide more specifics.
Edit since your edit:
If you can use Outlook, and you can just store the path to the file() in the attachments field as an array, then you an loop over the array with mailitem.attach to attach multiple files
So when you click on an email hyperlink, it opens up a new mail message window in the default mail client (Outlook in my case). You can append Subject, Body, CC and BCC fields directly to the email hyperlink and your mail client will automatically populate those values in the corresponding boxes. An example hyperlink field would be:
Send Mail
So here we go. User clicks the hyperlink and a new inspector window is opened by Outlook. I'm listening to NewInspector event in my Outlook add-in. Can I somehow get the full href of the link that was clicked to bring up this inspector window?
The reason I want this is that I'm appending some custom fields to the hyperlink, which obviously are not understood by Outlook. Can I get the entire href value through some direct property, or COM?
No, the Outlook object model (nor the mailto: protocol) doesn't provide anything for that. Instead, you can automate Outlook to fill the required values programmatically. For example, if Outlook is already running you can use the following code:
// If so, use the GetActiveObject method to obtain the process and cast it to an Application object.
application = Marshal.GetActiveObject("Outlook.Application") as Outlook.Application;
Read more about that in the How to: Get and Log On to an Instance of Outlook article. Also you may find the C# app automates Outlook (CSAutomateOutlook) sample project helpful.
The Thunderbird Addon Display Contact Photo shows a nice picture of users (or optionally their gravatar/identicon/wavatar/monsterid) next to the mail header and in the recepient list. Is it possible to have that icon also displayed in the Recepient column (or even better, the Correspondent one from Show InOut) or a separate column in the default mail list?
That is, I'd like to have the image from the left of the contacts in this screenshot
(source: mozilla.net)
also in the email overview so I can see very quickly whom each email is from.
Thunderbayes++ shows an icon in the email overview, if a mail is spam, ham or unsure. Maybe the code of this extension can help you to implement this.
I have a SQL Server Reporting Services report where one of the columns has user ids in email address format. When I export this report to PDF format and click on the user id it moves to Outlook.
I have read about disabling hyperlinks and used both:
(=IIFGlobals!RenderFormat.Name, "www.google.com",Nothing)
=IIf(Globals!RenderFormat.IsInteractive, "http://10.210.251.132/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx", Nothing)
But neither is working. Is there any other way to do it?
If I understand your situation correctly, you have a report that displays some email addresses and when the report is rendered as a PDF document the email addresses appear as clickable links. When a user clicks one of the email address in the PDF document, the link launches Microsoft Outlook (to create a new email message).
Unfortunately I think this is a feature of PDF documents, or at least the PDFs generated by Reporting Services. The email address seems to be automatically identified as such and a link created in the document - I can't see any way to control this from within the report code.
The only thing I can suggest is to insert a space into the address to stop the PDF renderer identifying it and creating a link, e.g.
my.email#address.com > my.email # address.com
