RSSExchange Messaging Outlook Volume 15, Number 4
Today's Highlights:
The Meeting Organizer’s Name Appears in the Subject
An administrator asked: "We're using Exchange 2007 with a mixture of Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 clients. Meetings are showing up on the Resource Room calendars with the meeting organizer's name in the subject line. How do we remove it? "
Help! My Contacts are being updated
An Outlook user had this complaint: "Some of my contacts are in both the GAL and my local Contacts folder. Outlook updated my contacts (in my contacts folder) with information from the Global Address Book. How to disable this function? The GAL contains outdated information."
Open EML files in Outlook
Recently, an Outlook user asked how to open Outlook Express files in Outlook. Because eml files are just text files and will open in Notepad or Internet Explorer, I suggested he associate the eml extension with notepad. I do this on most of my computers, so email attachments or files on my hard drive would open outside of OE.
Outlook Quick Tip: Windows 7 and Go, News
A surprising
number of people used the Go, News command to open the “Outlook Newsreader”
(really Outlook Express in news-only mode) and now that they've upgraded to
Windows 7, they can't find the News command.
The command was removed from the Go menu beginning with Outlook 2003 but
users who wanted to use it to open Outlook Express or Vista Mail as
newsreaders could customize the toolbar to return it to the Go menu.
However, the command is missing from the Customize dialog when Outlook is
installed on Windows 7. Because Windows 7 does not include a news client and
the News command doesn’t work with Windows Live Mail, Outlook doesn’t show
you the command.
