MOTD in Outlook
-
Hi all - my team is known as the BOILS team (horrible, isn't it?) which is an acronym for some business mumbo-jumbo that is really quite dull. Basically, we've started compiling a list of interesting things BOILS could stand for, starting with "Bureau of" - here's a few examples: Bureau of Increasingly Ludicrous Solutions Bureau of Indiscriminately Low Standards Bureau of Ignorant but Lovable Servants Bureau of Igloo Lighting Specialists So I've set up a website on one of our development servers to randomise a new one each day. We've sort of thought we want to throw it in our email signature, but having to do this by hand would be a pain. Anyone know of an easy way to add a MOTD/QOTD style thing to an Outlook signature short of an Outlook add-in? (don't want to resort to that... I should probably do some ACTUAL work...) EDIT: I did it! Used a VBA macro... now to make it only send internally :~ And while you're listening, any creative meanings for BOILS? :)

This was the first thing that occurred to me, don't you have something productive to do?

In my case I was going to sleep until 9, so reading the Lounge until now isn't in the way of productive work. Problem is I still have some reading to do. :laugh:

You have to create the sig in Word, and use a variable.

Me? I'm cr@p at that kind of thing. Bursting with Original, Innovative, and Lovely Scrap. Boring Old Idiots Lacking Spirit. Blatantly Overt Imitation and Lacklustre Style. Badly Oppressed Idealists Like Scrum. Being Overly Irresolute, Legless on Saturdays. Bald, Ornery Ingrates Leer Savagely. etc.
