Outlook 2002 send mail message question...

[Brad Pears]

Is it possible to require the user to repond to a yes/no prompt before
actually sending a mail message? Currently when you click the "send" button,
it's gone...

I have a jittery user who is always "accidentally" clicking that "Send"
button (problem is it's the owner of the company so I need to appease him).
I was hoping I could just go into mail options and find a "Prompt before
sending" item - but I do not see that...

Help!

Thanks, Brad

you either need VBA or an addin. you could also use a rule to delay messages
if he accidently hits send and needs to finish them before sending.


see outlookcode.com for vba samples

Is he ADHD and can't control his impulses? I couldn't work for someone who
has no self-discipline.
