Automatic Text in Subject Field

[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.

Do you group all e-mails in one folder? You could select one of the existing
e-mails and reference to that.

e.g:

Public Sub NewMailWithSubject()
Dim Mail as Outlook.MailItem
Dim Subject as String
' get selected subject
Subject=Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection(1).Subject
' create new mail
Set Mail=Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
If LCase$(Left$(Subject, 4))="re: " Then
Subject=Mid$(Subject, 5)
Endif
Mail.Subject=Subject
Mail.Display
End Sub
