#12 No instructions?

I finally had the time to move this project to GitHub. The content of the wiki should have been migrated fully. See https://github.com/macros4outlook/quotefixmacro.

#12 No instructions?

Who knows where the documentation went. The basics are this:

You must be configured to be text-only. This will not work with HTML or RTF mail.

Import the .bas file into the Visual Basic for Applications window you can get to by enabling the Developer tab/ribbon.

Create a specific signature and make it the default for replies/forwards. The signature should have some combination of "variables":

%Q = Quoted text from email you received
%C = Cursor position in the reply
%SN = The sender's full, official name
%SE = the sender's email address
%FN = best guess at the sender's first name
%D = the sent date
%OH = the default Outlook reply header

Thus a signature like:

%FN,
%C
On %D, %FN %LN stated:
%Q

might give you a window when the macro is called from in an email window:

John,

How does this work?

For ease of use, you would want a custom ribbon button to click instead of the built-in reply button that calls the FixedReply macro. I won't get into how you make Outlook trust your macro because trusting all is dangerous and signing is flakey.

I can confirm that this macro works for the most part in Outlook 2013.

Good luck!

I just downloaded the zip but there are no instructions anywhere? In the .bas file there are some comments that refers to

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/macros4outlook/index.php?title=QuoteFix_Macro#Configuration

but that address is invalid.

Help! How do I use this?
