Hello all,
INTRODUCTION (jump to the question if you want)
Every month I end up navigating through the sent mails to find the last mail I sent to that specific customer, then copy the contents, create a new mail, paste the contents, copy the mail addresses and paste them and copy the subject and paste it too... then finding the list of hours and expenses I will want to bill to my customer and attach it into the new mail... I really hate all this process.
I've added more functionality to a software I programmed for my own use, to keep track of that amount of time and those expenses, and now I can add customer contacts, define what kind of information I will want to send to those contacts... So now, after creating the pre-invoice I have 2 new icons that I can press, the first one is intended to build a mailto link with the right recipients, subject and body.
This works very well, and I get everything in the mail only pressing a button preventing my possible mistakes and keeping a constant mail format for all my customers.
QUESTION
So, after building a mailto string, the signature of the mail disappears as it seems that Outlook considers it to be part of the body.
The easiest way to solve it that I can think of is to copy the contents of the HTML that I can find in the outlook signatures folder and add that to the body string, but it doesn't seem the right way to do it.
Have any of you found a better solution?
Thank you all in advance.
What I have tried:
If I remove the body part of the mailto string the signature remains there.
Have searched the internet and I've seen solutions like using AutoHotkey to add the signature, copying the body contents into the clipboard and once the mail window appears paste them there...
All those things seem :(
