Outlook – how to insert email separator line in outlook

microsoft-outlook

In outlook, when you reply to an email, it appends the email thread to the bottom of the email document but inserts a blue line across to separate and demarcate the start/end of the email.

I want to copy and paste the email body from another email complete with the "From, Sent, To, CC, Subject" headers and then insert the blue line to create the consistent email boundaries.

How can I do that?

(email here and there… seriously lack of words to describe)

You can create different styles of lines by typing specific characters three times, followed by Enter.

You can also create graphic lines using Borders and Shading.

Outlook Script to edit subject

This is very easy. Just create VBA macro (ALT+F11 in your Outlook and add the following code to your ThisOutlookSession) that looks like this :

Sub EditSubject(Item As Outlook.MailItem)
    Splitted = Split(Item.Subject)
    If UBound(Splitted) == 4 Then
        Item.Subject = Splitted(2)
        Item.Save
    End If
End Sub

After that create an Outlook Rule for that particular sender which runs this script.

Outlook 2010 – Sending emails twice

I have a single customer with the same behaviors, The mailbox is an Exchange 2010 mailbox and the client software is Outlook 2010. We found that the user has sync'ed the mailbox to android tablet and iPhone. When the customer used either the tablet, iPhone or OWA to send emails, there was no duplication. We turned off both devices and the duplicate messages stopped sending. After about 3 weeks the problem reappeared. Turning off the devices for a short time resolved the issue again. There are no rules in the mailbox, hidden or otherwise. Creating a new profile does not fix.
