I would like to forward emails with embedded images without the original sender information in Outlook365.
The following VBA code hides the original sender information. However, the embedded images were not shown, only displaying red check boxes.
I don't want to send the images as attachment. Is it possible to forward embedded images in the email body?
Sub SendTransfer(Item As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim objMsg As MailItem
Set objMsg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
objMsg.HTMLBody = Item.HTMLBody
objMsg.Subject = "xxxx2022" & Item.Subject
objMsg.Recipients.Add "xxxxxx"
objMsg.Send
End Sub

I am trying to send an email, with a chart, using VBA in Excel.
When I use .Display the email is created with that picture (chart) inside the email and it is sending.
When I sending straight away using .Send, the picture of the chart disappears from the email.
Also, I would like to better understand parameters after using:
.Attachments.Add PicFilename, 1, 1
What are the numbers "1, 1" which I took from one of the examples on website.
The Attachments.Add method is described in MSDN.
Sub AddAttachment()
Dim myItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim myAttachments As Outlook.Attachments
Set myItem = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set myAttachments = myItem.Attachments
myAttachments.Add "C:\Test.doc", _
olByValue, 1, "Test"
myItem.Display
End Sub
Try to save the item before sending it out. Also you can use two calls sequentially if it helps:
mailItem.Display(False)
mailItem.Send()
Below is the code that I am running in ThisOutlookSession. The code is meant to check all incoming emails and if the email is from a certain email address and contains a specific string in the subject then a new email is created from a template and the triggering email is attached and the email is then sent out to a different email address. This portion all works fine.
Also to note I am using windows 10 and office 2016.
The problem that I am having is the email is converted to plain text unless it is displayed first. The template that I have created is saved as a HTML formatted message. I have tried adding lines such as
NewMsg.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
NewMsg.save
But this doesn't seem to work as the email that is sent was still in the plain text format. If I add the following to that the message it basically works.
NewMsg.BodyFormat = olFormatRichText
NewMsg.save
NewMsg.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
NewMsg.save
However the above block of code removes a lot of the formatting that was saved in my template such as different fonts/ font sizes.
Am I missing something about working with templates in VBA?
Also The problem that I am having with displaying the message first is two things. The obvious one is the flash that this causes because the message is briefly displayed. The second is my default signature is also added to the displayed message but I wanted to use a custom signature that I built into my template.
Here is my full code with sensitive information removed.
Private WithEvents Items As Outlook.Items
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Set olApp = Outlook.Application
Set objNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
' default local Inbox
Set Items = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
End Sub
Private Sub Items_ItemAdd(ByVal item As Object)
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Dim Msg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim NewMsg As Outlook.MailItem
If TypeName(item) = "MailItem" Then
Set Msg = item
If Msg.SenderEmailAddress <> "example#example.com" Then GoTo Skip
If InStr(1, Msg.Subject, "Specific String") > 0 Then 'checks if subject contains the proper string
Set NewMsg = Application.CreateItemFromTemplate("Template Path")
Msg.Subject = Replace(Msg.Subject, "Old Subject", "New subject")
Msg.Save
NewMsg.HTMLBody = NewMsg.HTMLBody
NewMsg.Attachments.Add Msg
NewMsg.Recipients.Add("Example#Example.com")
NewMsg.Subject = Msg.Subject
NewMsg.Save
NewMsg.Send
End If
End If
Skip:
ProgramExit:
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description
End Sub
Reset the HTMLBody property - that will force HTML format:
Msg.HTMLBody = Msg.HTMLBody
We currently have an email automatically created by Excel using VBA, with subject, recipient, message body with template text all filled in.
Sub CreateMail(Optional sFile As String = "")
'Create email to send to requestor with attachment sFile
'Declarations
Dim app As Outlook.Application
Dim msg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim send_to As Recipient
Dim send_tos As Recipients
'Initiations
Set app = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set msg = app.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set send_tos = msg.Recipients
Set send_to = send_tos.Add("receiver#email.com")
send_to.Type = 1
'Create message
With msg
.SentOnBehalfOfName = "sender#email.com"
.Subject = "This is the email subject"
.HTMLBody = "This is the email body" & vbCrLf
'Resolve each Recipient's name.
For Each send_to In msg.Recipients
send_to.Resolve
Next
If Len(sFile) > 0 Then
.Attachments.Add sFile
End If
.Display
End With
End sub
After making some manual changes to the email that is created, we'd like to send it and have a copy saved to a folder on the file system automatically (in addition to the usual sent folder in Outlook). Is there a way to do this all within Excel VBA?
I suspect it might be possible using Outlook VBA, however the folders are defined in Excel and we'd like to keep the code together in the one file.
What is your code for sending email? This works for me in an Excel VBA module:
Dim appOutLook As Outlook.Application
Dim MailOutLook As Outlook.MailItem
Set appOutLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set MailOutLook = appOutLook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With MailOutLook
.BodyFormat = olFormatRichText
.To = "email address"
.Subject = "Test"
.HTMLBody = "Test " & Now
.DeleteAfterSubmit = True 'to not retain in sent folder
.Display
.SaveAs "C:\filepath\Test.txt", 0
' .Send
End With
However, guess the real trick is allowing edit of the email before saving file. So far not seeing solution for that. Unfortunately the code execution does not pause while the message window is open. I was hoping for the pause since Office is supposed to be an integrated suite of apps - like opening a form in Access in dialog mode which does pause execution of code.
With code in Excel only, monitor the SentItems folder.
Utilizing Outlook Events From Excel
Confirm the mail from a unique ID.
The unique ID could be in the subject or body.
You could try saving the unique ID in PR_SEARCH_KEY. It is the same idea How, can get the exact sent Email from Sent Items folder? and How to uniquely identify an Outlook email as MailItem.EntryID changes when email is moved
I'm trying to send an Outlook email from VBA Excel. I've got everything declared correctly, as far as I can tell. I'm having issues with changing the sender and the font size.
The from is a secondary email, also on Outlook, which I have access to.
The font issue is that I can't seem to achieve font size 11 when using the below code.
Sender:
With OutMail
.Display
.Sender = "someone#example.com"
'.SentOnBehalfOfName = "someoneelse#example.com"
.To = origintext
.Subject = "Location Verification"
.BodyFormat = 2 'olFormatHTML
.HTMLBody = fMsg & fMsg2 & fMsg3 & signature
'.Body = signature
.Display
End With
Where fMsg, fMsg2, and fMsg3 are strings. The signature is declared earlier in the code with:
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
OutMail.Display
signature = OutMail.HTMLBody
I do this to get the signature as it seems to be impossible to use something such as OutMail.Signature = *Signature1*.
I understand there is an OutMail.SentOnBehalfOf = hello#world.com but that does not seem to work with OutMail.BodyFormat = 2 which sets the body to HTML format.
Font:
An example of my HTML body is as follows:
fMsg = "<p><font face = ""Calibri(Body)"" font size=""3"" color=""black"">Hello,</font></p>"
However, the issue that comes with this is font size=""3"" does not actually give font size 3, it gives font size 10. I'm trying to get to 11. font size=""4"" produces size 13.5.
TL;DR:
What's the VBA code to send an Outlook email from my second email account?
What's the VBA code to get font size 11 using HTML format?
SentOnBehalfOfName is a little tricky. See here where it works when it precedes Display. SentOnBehalfOf not working in Excel 2010 VBA Code
You can use "style=font-size:11pt" as described here Change HTML email body font type and size in VBA
The SendUsingAccount property of the MailItem class allows to set an Account object that represents the account under which the MailItem is to be sent. For example:
Sub SendUsingAccount()
Dim oAccount As Outlook.account
For Each oAccount In Application.Session.Accounts
If oAccount.AccountType = olPop3 Then
Dim oMail As Outlook.MailItem
Set oMail = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
oMail.Subject = "Sent using POP3 Account"
oMail.Recipients.Add ("someone#example.com")
oMail.Recipients.ResolveAll
oMail.SendUsingAccount = oAccount
oMail.Send
End If
Next
End Sub
Try to use the Word object model to change the font size in emails. See Chapter 17: Working with Item Bodies for more information.
I'm trying to write a macro that sends an automatic notification to specific addresses before sending the original email. (Like a cc, without actually using cc.)
The content of the original formatted email, (including text, tables, and pictures,) should be copied and pasted into a new email which is then automatically sent. Everything works when I just display the message, but not when actually sending the email.
Here is my code:
Dim objMsg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim activeMailMessage As Outlook.MailItem
Dim BodyText As Object
' Create the message.
Set objMsg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
'copy body of current item
Set activeMailMessage = ActiveInspector.CurrentItem
activeMailMessage.GetInspector().WordEditor.Range.FormattedText.Copy
'paste body into new email
Set BodyText = objMsg.GetInspector.WordEditor.Range
BodyText.Paste
'set up and send notification email
With objMsg
.To = "test#domain.com"
.Subject = "text"
.Send
End With
The text should be pasted into the body like this, but it won't paste:
With objMsg
.To = "test#domain.com"
.Subject = "test"
.body = bodytext.paste
.Send
End With
When I use .display the correct content is displayed. But when I send it directly (without first using .display), all of all information is lost and an empty email is sent. What can I do?
I could add a bcc in the original email to achieve the same result, but the original email does not always send, whereas this notification should be.
Your code is never actually setting the Body of the e-mail in the objMsg object. It is working when you have objMsg displayed because your interacting with the 'Inspector'.
If you directly set either the HTMLBody (if you want to retain formatting), or the Body property on objMsg then it will work as in the below example.
With objMsg
.HTMLBody = activeMailMessage.HTMLBody
.To = "test#domain.com"
.Subject = "text"
.Send
End With
Bob, regarding your question on images that are embedded within the e-mail being lost with the above approach. An alternate solution could be to use the MailItem's Copy method to create your new MailItem exactly as the original Item. This will also retain who the e-mail is being sent to you need to clear this to make sure only the intended recipients receive it.
Dim objMsg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim activeMailMessage As Outlook.MailItem
' Create the new message.
Set objMsg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
' Assign the current item to activeMailMessage
Set activeMailMessage = ActiveInspector.CurrentItem
' Copy the current item to create a new message
Set objMsg = activeMailMessage.Copy
' Clear any existing recipients of the e-mail, as these will be retained in the Copy
While objMsg.Recipients.Count > 0
objMsg.Recipients.Remove 1
Wend
'set up and send notification email
With objMsg
.To = "test#domain.com"
.Subject = "text"
.Send
End With
This should retain your images and other attachments as they were in the original e-mail.
Try to call the Save method after calling the Paste method.
