- Outlook version
- Email Account
- Exchange Server
We are running Outlook Exchange Server 2007 with copies of Outlook 2003 and 2007.
What we want to do is get the Out of Office Assistant to send HTML emails instead of plain text ones.
Outlook Exchange seems to be completely incapable of doing this?
I can get the Outlook Client to send HTML Out of Office emails, but then the client needs to be on all the time for this to work (obviously not acceptable). I have also gone into the Out of Office Assistant and created a rule to Reply with a HTML email - however this only seems to work internally, when tested from an external email address we got nothing in response.
Ive spent a while trying to figure this out; searching the web (and this forum) has yeilded nothing. If it is not possible to get the Out of Office Assistant to send HTML emails why is the stand alone version of Outlook capable of sending HTML Out of Office Emails, but the more expensive version of Outlook + Exchange incapable of sending HTML Out of Office Emails? We are paying more money and yet missing features available in the cheaper option? Sorry, Im just getting slightly frustrated with something that should be simple. Perhaps I am missing something obvious?
Many thanks in advance for anybodies help with this issue.
