When I reply to emails I use the same subject line in each mail message. Is there an easier way beside typing out the same subject line each time?

Thanks,
Mason

Don't quite understand the question. If you receive a message with subject "Something", and click the reply button, you get a new message with the subject "Re: Something." Are you asking if "Re: Something" can be automatically replaced with something else like "This is my standard reply"?

(please don't PM with general questions, unless that person has already invited you to do so, the forums are here for a reason!)

The subject is always "Please help me move money out of Nigeria!"

Yes, mfbernstein that is exactly what I'm meant. So when I reply it automatically comes up. Sorry for PM'ing you.

This sounds like a task for Applescript?

Is Applescript compatible with Outlook or Thunderbird?

Well... Outlook is Windows only, so technically, no, Applescript won't touch either one. However, this isn't an automation thing, it's an Outlook options thing. Which version of Outlook are you using? Some options are in different places in different versions.

Oddly enough, I was browsing Lifehacker and came across a free app called Texter for Windows, sort of like TextExpander for Macs.

Thanks anyway,
Mason
