The below code (I pulled from several sources) now works in that when I receive an email with specific words in the subject line it triggers a script that runs the below.
This code then keeps the subject line, adds text the message body and the forwards to the intended recipient.
However, if the email I receive has an attachment the code no longer forwards anything. I need it to forward the attachment that was emailed to me as well (only using the code to add text to body of email otherwise I would just set a rule).
CODE BELOW:
Sub ForwardEmail(item As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim oExplorer As Outlook.Explorer
Dim oMail As MailItem
Set oExplorer = Application.ActiveExplorer
On Error GoTo Release
If oExplorer.Selection.item(1).Class = olMail Then
Set oMail = item.Forward
oMail.Subject = oMail.Subject
oMail.HTMLBody = "Have a nice day." & vbCrLf & oMail.HTMLBody
oMail.Recipients.Add "email address here"
oMail.Save
oMail.Send
End If
Release:
Set oMail = Nothing
Set oExplorer = Nothing
End Sub
There is no need to use the Explorer object in the code:
Sub ForwardEmail(item As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim oMail As MailItem
On Error GoTo Release
If item.Class = olMail Then
Set oMail = item.Forward
oMail.Subject = oMail.Subject
oMail.HTMLBody = "Have a nice day." & vbCrLf & oMail.HTMLBody
oMail.Recipients.Add "email address here"
oMail.Save
oMail.Send
End If
Release:
Set oMail = Nothing
Set oExplorer = Nothing
End Sub
