Automatic Subject of Email

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm working for several projects and hence I do have a breakdown structure
in my Inbox per project. This allows me to group my emails very easily by
project (and further down by other subjects related to the particular
project) eg

Inbox
** Project 1
**** Subject 1
**** Subject ....
** Project 2
**** Subject 1
**** Subject 100

Therefor, when I send a new email regarding an issue on "Project 1", I tend
to start the text in the Subject Field with
"Project 1: subject 1 ...." or
"Project 2: subject 100 ..."

In this way, it is very easy for me to regroup emails if I get an answer
from a team-member as the Subject Field reads
"Re: Project 1: subject 1 ..."

However, for the moment, I'm always typing manually the Project titel
"Project 1" or "Project 2" and I was wondering if Outlook can put the project
title automatically in the Subject Field by for example selecting the Project
(eg "Project 1") in the breakdown tree and launching the button to write a
new email.

Thanks for your help,
Dries.

Nope, not natively. You might be able to get some results by using VBA amd
code it yourself. Check with the developers in outlook.program_vba if you
need some help.
