Review all Email Recipients before Sending

[rallison0902]

Hi team, I have some experience in VBA but I'm rusty and trying to recreate a macros from years ago to display all email recipients prior to sending. So, essentially, a pop-up box would appear when the send button is clicked that will list all the recipients for one last review and a confirmation to send. Any thoughts?

Try this one

Option Explicit

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
    Dim Prompt As String
    Prompt = "Are you sure you entered all correct recipients?"
    If MsgBox(Prompt, vbYesNo + vbQuestion + vbMsgBoxSetForeground, "Check for recipients") = vbNo Then
        Cancel = True
    End If
End Sub

will list all the recipients for one last review

As a small add-on to Aussiebear's response, for the list of recipients, use the Item object which will be a MailItem you could add a string that contains the list that is displayed with the message asking if they are all correct.

Dim recipientList as String
Dim rp as Outlook.Recipient
recipientList = ""
For Each rp in Item.Recipients
    recipientList = recipientList & rp.Name & vbCrLf
Next
Prompt = recipientList & "Are you sure you entered all correct recipients?"

This code hasn't been tested and is just an example.

Teamwork!

yes, but the Captain/Coach of the home team appears to have subbed themselves out of the game..... Strange method of asking for help and then just disappear.

HA! Didn't disappear - apologies for the delay. I can't thank you enough for your help. Testing this morning and will check back in!

You will need to use the ItemSend event to trigger the pop-up before the email is sent. The event is fired when the send button is clicked.

Do you want the pop-up to display recipients in the To, Cc, and Bcc fields, or only certain ones?
