Outlook Reply or ReplyAll to an Email

Question

Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objMail = objOutlook.CreateItem(0)
objMail.To = "[email protected]"
objMail.cc = "[email protected]"
objMail.Subject = "Mail test"
objMail.HTMLBody = "This is my message"
unload me
objMail.Display
Set objMail = Nothing
Set objOutlook = Nothing

I am trying to add in another function that help to reply a selected email but can't figure out how I can mix this with Item As Outlook.MailItem I understand that replying an email will require that.

So I would like to know how I can add on so that I can select an email, execute the macro and it will input the recipient email into objMail.To and recipient's body into objMail.HTMLBody

Answer 1

To simply Reply or ReplyAll selected messages try the following.

Option Explicit
Sub ReplyMSG()
    Dim olItem As Outlook.MailItem
    Dim olReply As MailItem ' Reply
    Dim olRecip As Recipient ' Add Recipient
    
    For Each olItem In Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection
        Set olReply = olItem.ReplyAll
        Set olRecip = olReply.Recipients.Add("Email Address Here") ' Recipient Address
        olRecip.Type = olCC
        olReply.HTMLBody = "Hello, Thank you. " & vbCrLf & olReply.HTMLBody
        olReply.Display
    
        'olReply.Send
    Next olItem
End Sub

To hide the recipient use BCC Example

olRecip.Type = olBcc

To add multiple recipient just add

Set olRecip = olReply.Recipients.Add("Email Here")
Set olRecip = olReply.Recipients.Add("Email Here")
Set olRecip = olReply.Recipients.Add("Email Here")

With out Recipient try the following.

Option Explicit
Sub ReplyMSG()
    Dim olItem As Outlook.MailItem
    Dim olReply As MailItem ' Reply

    For Each olItem In Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection
        Set olReply = olItem.ReplyAll
        olReply.HTMLBody = "Hello, Thank you. " & vbCrLf & olReply.HTMLBody
        olReply.Display

        'olReply.Send
    Next olItem
End Sub
