Ask to save sent items?

[Laura C]

Hello All

Does anyone know of a method of how to get Outlook to ask
if you want to save a sent item. All I can see in Tools>
Options> E-mail Options. is the check box 'save copies of
messages in Sent Items folder', which either saves all or
none. Can I set it up so it asks 'would i like to save the
message to sent items?' with a yes/no box?

I'm using Outlook 2000

Cheers for all help offered

I don't know of a way to create a popup (perhaps it could be done with some
programming, but I'm not a programmer). But you can go into Options on a
message and set your saving preference there for that message -- you can
choose a different folder, or clear the checkbox so that the sent message is
not saved at all.

Thought this might help someone:

Most of my mail needs to be save automatically in Sent Items, but a
good proportion need not be. Therefore my Outlook options are set to
save Sent Items by default, but I needed a means to unset this for a
specific mail easily.

Since the buttons for setting the Importance flag are readily
accessible from the new mail form, I use the following macro to do
this:

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As
Boolean)
With Item
If .Importance = olImportanceLow Then
..DeleteAfterSubmit = True
..ReadReceiptRequested = False
..Importance = olImportanceNormal
End If
End With
End Sub

Just clicking the Low Priority button before sending off the email does
the trick.
