Outlook2013-create-HTML-Reply-email-and-remove-chaff

[New1992]

I've written some code that uses a user form to get user information and creates a reply email (to the one highlighted in outlook). To do this I used the item.Reply function from the highlighted email. I then put the data from the user form into a new email with the Reply.HTML at the end. I am looking for a way to delete the TO, CC, BCC, and Subjects from the new email.

I have the code written such that those sections are taken from the hilighted email and converted to a string. When I try to remove that string from the new email it doesn't work. I think the code is reading the <email> as HTML formatting and removing it from the text. Does anyone have any ideas on how to avoid this?



Simply put: replace text in an HTML email draft that is similar to "John Smith <emaill>"

Do you mean like the following?

Dim olMsg As MailItem
Dim olReply As MailItem
Dim olRecipient As Recipient
Set olMsg = ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(1)
Set olReply = olMsg.Reply
With olReply
For Each olRecipient In olReply.Recipients
olRecipient.Delete
Next olRecipient
.subject = ""
.Display
End With

Not quite, I am trying to remove the blue lines in the example draft email message below.

Draft email body:

New email text here.

Test email.

Ah! I thought it an odd requirement. If no-one has picked it up overnight, I will address it tomorrow.

Never mind, I found another way to do it. Instead I am copying the body of the email I want to reply to and making the "from" and "sent" sections on my own.
