[2007] Reply window - Send & Delete Button

[flukey]

After some searching the forums, I think I have a mostly unique question.

I would really love to create a macro button that I could add to the Reply window toolbar, that would allow me to 'Send & Delete'.

The functionality of this button would be to delete the original message for which the reply is being created.

This would give me the options to both simply 'Send' (as normal function allows), or to 'Send & Delete' [the original message] when I prefer.

This is a really efficient feature being included in some webmail and other client interfaces. Hopefully we can find a way to do this in Outlook 2007, so the ribbon is in play here, but this wouldn't necessarily have to be done through the ribbon.

Thanks for your time!

You could upgrade to Outlook 2010, it has a feature called Conversation Cleanup that does this.

Otherwise you would need VBA code to do this.
