You can fix the shortcut to go directly to Outlook without stopping, without asking silly questions, with modern formatting options and leaving you to add whatever words you like. Making a mail recipient shortcut that works for you It’s a shame the Office team don’t add an Outlook specific shortcut to bypass these limitations. In fact the Send To shortcut will work with whatever default email program is setup in Windows. This feature is actually in Windows, not Outlook. One advantage of the Windows supplied shortcut is that you can select multiple files to be attached to a single email. You have to select HTML formatting yourself. In Outlook the ‘Mail Recipient’ option defaults to a plain text message even if you have another format as the default for new messages.Sometimes you want to copy something from an existing message into the new message – bad luck – you can’t do it courtesy of clumsy choices by Microsoft. If an urgent message arrives while you’re sending a file, you can’t switch over to read it. That means you can’t switch to another Outlook window while the message is open. The Outlook message window created by the shortcut is ‘fixed’ or ‘modal’ in geek-speak (unlike a normal message pane in Outlook).More and more people want to skip this dialog and simply send the file they have, complete and untouched by Microsoft.
WINDOWS XP CHANGE DEFAULT PROGRAM FOR EXTENSION FULL SIZE
These days mailboxes have greatly increased the accepted size for incoming messages so it’s common to email full size images, sometimes over 5MB each. This is a typical ‘lowest common user’ choice by Microsoft – it works for very novice users but no-one else. You can’t stop this dialog appearing, nor can you change the default ‘Medium’ setting.
