Bells & Whistles for Outlook: automatic greetings

How to automatically add greetings when sending Outlook email replies

The automatic greetings feature of Bells & Whistles Outlook add-in can greatly increase the productivity of any Outlook user who deals with lots of email replies. The Reply Greetings function allows you to create faster email replies, by automatically inserting a greeting into the reply that you are composing.

This greeting text is generated dynamically, based on your desired greeting intro (Hi, Hello, Dear, etc) and based on the alias name of the email address where the email is going to be sent.

For example, if you are replying to john@domain.com and the alias name of this email address is "John Smith", then Bells & Whistles will automatically start your email reply with the text "Hi John,".

This way, you don't have to manually type again email greetings.

To enable this feature, open the Bells & Whistles options window (from the Outlook Tools menu) and from the Reply Options section, enable the checkbox to "insert greeting when replying to emails". If you with to change the greeting intro text, insert your custom greeting message to the Greeting Text field.
