Tech Tip # 2 - Outlook Drag Text Creates a New Email

Ben:

Found this out by accident.

In Outlook 2007

If you highlight text from an email message and then drag over to you inbox (actually any mail folder, message, etc.) it creates a new email message with that highlighted text.

It will probably work from other office applications too.


RyanS:

Good tip! Confirmed that it works with Outlook 2000 as well. I can drag text from another email or from an office document or FF. Can't from notepad though. Just tested Notepad ++ and it works too. Looks like maybe anything that supports text dragging as copying will let you do this.

Hopefully no one else is stuck using LookOut! 2000, but I thought I would throw that out there.
