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.

I'm trying to fill out automatically the BCC for every email sent within the domain of our office using any kind of language.
I created and Outlook Add-in and I was thinking maybe put a button there and when it's clicked your BCC is always filled with one email. Please let me know any ideas how I can get this done.
Thank you!
I am working on Outlook 2013 to custom form. I want to send data with e-mail which i chosen from drop down. I have designed the form using developer tools in outlook but no idea how to set chosen field text with email.
Thanks.
You need to associate custom controls with user properties that may contain values between sessions. See Customizing Outlook Message Forms for more information.
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.
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.
Is it possible to detect the email client in an html message? Specifically outlook 2007
Update
My users have access to an online system that really has nothing to do with email, but in this system they can all communicate with themselves.
My app - takes messages from this system, and then sends it via an email instead.
Now I need a reply to function. Obviously its not a normal email address so...
I want a way to intercept this message, and send it via another channel.
I could write the outlook plug to check EVERY SINGLE out going email address, but this surely can't be the way we're expected to work with email.
It would be much easier to have a button in the email itself which can call an outlook function (custom) and then pass control to this function.

Thanks guys for your answer, but there is a little more complexity. The online system contains fields, these fields need to be completed by the user before sending the reply. So I need some kind of form (yes with working check boxes, etc in there). This should all be in the email message.
Essentially what you'll need to do is set up an automated process that monitors a particular email address, and set that address as the reply-to in your outgoing email. When a message comes in, you can do whatever analysis you need to (examining the from, subject, etc.) and process the content however you see fit.
"Detect" using what? Javascript does not work in email. CSS stylesheets don't either - so no CSS hacks.
Have you tried to change the Reply-To header in the email to the direction that you want?
You have an example in C# & VB in: http://www.systemwebmail.com/faq/2.7.aspx
