Change Default Save As File Type

[Ian Scott]

If you wish to save an email (using File|SaveAs) the dialog form always
defaults to file type .rft. Is there any way in vba (or, indeed, any
other way) that this dialog box can be presented to the user but with
the default file type as .msg.

I can do this in Excel and Word (Application.Dialogs... etc.) but I
cannot find this facility in Outlook (XP). Am I missing something?

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Ian

You cannot customize File, SaveAs. You could write your own code for a
custom button, replace SaveAs with your button and open the Windows
common dialog for saving in your code. The filter for the common
dialog would be set to whatever file extension you want.
