Send draft emails attached to another email

Guest

Hi,
I use many Draft Emails. I often get Draft Emails attached to another email.
But when I open this Draft email I am not able to send this Draft mail
because the "send" button is not active.

Has someone a solution for this problem?

thx

Save it to your desktop first and then open it, does it work now?

I can open the draft email but I can not send it afterwards.
I need to open the draft, edit it and then send it to the customers.

If you copy it to your own Drafts folder, can you send it then?

I can not copy it to the draft folder. When I safe the draft it is only
possible in *.doc or *.xml format.

When I afterwards create a new email I can attach the *.doc file and send it
but that is no good way.


Do you have the same problem when you create a new email and then move a
email from the draft folder into the email. and when you then open the draft
email you can't send it directly? Or is the problem only on my computers in
the network?

thx

OK, I have just tested it (with Outlook 2003), and I have no problems.

1) create a new message and save it in the Drafts folder.
2) create a new message and attach the draft from the drafts folder.
3) send it to myself.
4) delete the original draft message.
5) open the message with the draft I have sent to myself.
6) drag and drop the attached draft into the Drafts folder.
7) open the new draft message and send it away.

folder. but this is no solution for my boss because he recieves about 30 to
40 emails with about 3 to 8 draft emails attached to each mail.

is there another possible way to solve this problem?

thx for help
