Hi

Can someone please help me with the following:

We have a restaurant with about 500 clients on our email list.

Every now and then we send *.jpeg* adverts for specials, functions etc...

Recently all ISP's here in SA have a limit of 20 email contacts per email ( for Anti SPAM purposes ). However they offer to create a distribution

list for you - at an extra cost and a great inconvenience ( with all the paperwork required ) for small users like us,

and if you need to change addresses you need to send them updated info that they will change in 48 hours....... and and and........

I would like to create, if possible, a Macro in Outlook that would:

1) Create Email

2) Insert Recipient ( 1 email per each and every contact from a distribution list either created in Outlook, Excel or Access )

3) Insert user determined Subject - This might be July Lunch Specials, Themed evening on the 20th... etc

4) Insert a *.jpeg* in the body of the HTML email ( NOT as an attachment )

5) Send! ( with Delivery and Read Receipt )

I would really appreciate if someone could help me with the above

Thanking you in advance

Fabio
 
Hi Diane

Thank you very much for replying.

Your idea for a Template is perfect for me.

So what I would like to do is physically create a new mail, type in the subject and insert the advert in the body of the email

Then I would need a Macro to send this mail individually to a distribution list in Outlook that I will have open

Could you please send me a code for this. I have never worked with VBA / Macro before and am learning.

Thank you once again for your great help!

Regards

Fabio
 
Try creating a message and saving it as a template - then use this macro. You can use the subject field in the template or add the subject in the macro -

Code:
Sub Merge_to_Group() 
 
Dim o_list As Object 
 
Dim objMsg As MailItem 
 
' select or open the distribution list 
 
' you need the GetCurrentItem function from 
 
' http://slipstick.me/e8mio 
 
Set o_list = GetCurrentItem() 
 
For i = 1 To o_list.MemberCount 
 
Set objMsg = Application.CreateItemFromTemplate("C:\path\to\test-rule.oft") 
 
With objMsg
 .To = o_list.GetMember(i).Address
 .Subject = "Test Subject" 
 
'  use .display for testing 
 
' .send to send the messages automatically
 .Display 
 
End With 
 
Set objMsg = Nothing
    
 
Next 
 
End Sub
 
Hi Diane

thanks very much for your help

it works like a charm!

i introduced a time loop to delay msg sending

by 5 sec intervals

its working really well!

only prob is it comes up as spam :(

even from my own email address..

there's always something wrong

anyways thanks again!
