Custom email form (OL2000)

[cjohansen]

I have created a custom email form with plain text in the
body and 2 .pdf attachments. I published it and saved it
as a template. When I create a new email both from the
form on file in my personal folder and from the template I
see the form as I created it. When I send it (to myself
or someone else) I have a problem. The text in the
message is all deleted and what is received is only the
two attachments. I have saved this form both with the
form definition and without and get the same result with
both.
I created the form by creating an email with attachments,
text and subject line filled in then published it.
Nothing exceptional.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I've noticed that if I send a message based on a form without any changes to the body, the body does not get sent. This could be because when I published the form, I told Outlook that I did not want the form definition sent along with the message. If I edit the body in any way, such as changing the salutation, that fixes the problem. Does that work for you?

(Just to clarify, I mean changing the body of the new message created from the form, not changing the form itself.)

I tried it both saving the form definition and not saving the form definition. It did not make any difference. But I did find a Knowledge Base article (Q218398) that mentions putting a very small VBScript in the form and that worked! You may need it some time - I looked forever for it. Thanks for your suggestion.
