Working with Outlook Email Templates

Here's how to use Outlook Email templates without the fuss of reading about every feature available. ;)

To create a template save a normal email as filetype Template. You can then drag the file from Windows Explorer on to the Outlook icon on the taskbar to pin it to the jump list!

Open your pinned template by right-clicking the Outlook icon.
