Automated email with attachment

[Mattress Master]

I've Googled, but had not luck.

I want to set up an email to automatically reply with an attachment to the sender. Is this possible in Outlook 2007? If so, how do I go about setting it up?

Thanks

Quite easy.
First create an outlook template with the attachment included - see here http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/outlook/HA010865001033.aspx?pid=CL100626971033

Then create a rule for incoming messages and set the action to 'reply using a specific template' and select the template you created.

Tested and works fine.

The reply above would of course only work if your PC was actually on and connected.

Which is assumed by the use of Outlook 2007

You'll be surprised how stupid people can be (not referring to you, Mattress Master!) - I deal with the odd client support request and some people can be a nightmare.

Same here, got a call at like 20:30 at night yelling at me why her email won't work because she took her laptop home and wanted to do some work... how DARE I do maintenance on the server while she wanted to work (we had maintenance scheduled for later that evening)

Turns out, she doesn't have internet at home... and was used to it "just working whenever I open Outlook" and I had to explain the whole concept of what the internet is etc...
