Default Stationary

kbhome · Nov 10, 2008

Hi all,
this is my first day finding this forum. I hope to be able to make vista usable to me. I don't know anthing that is different about this then what I had so please be patient with me. I just want to have a default stationary and not have to pick one each time I write a note. Can this happen?

Hello kbhome and welcome to Vista Forums.

A workaround to this problem is to open a New Message window in Windows Mail and apply only the stationery you want to it. Afterwards, save the New Message window to your Drafts folder. Whenever you want to send a message with that stationery, you would just click on that message in the Drafts folder and type and send your message as usual.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

I'm not sure I see that as a default stationary.
how come when I reply also, it is just white? then I have to apply stationary to get color?

While in the blank New Message window with the stationery you like, click on File and Save. This will save it in the Drafts folder. You should be able to just click on that saved message in the Drafts folder to open a blank New Message window with the statioinery already applied.

Is the message that you are replying to have a stationery in it. If so, then look in Tools, Options, and check the "Reply to messages using the format ......." to see if that can help.
