Prompt to save a copy or not when sending emails

Prompt to save a copy or not when sending emails

For most of the messages that I send, I’d prefer to keep a copy in my Sent Items which is also the understandable default in Outlook.

However, in some cases, I find it not really necessary keep a copy. For instance, when resending or forwarding a message or when a message only contains a (larger) attachment.

For these instances, would it be possible to have Outlook prompt me whether I want to save a copy of the message?

Use OneNote to create linked Appointment Tasks

Use OneNote to create linked Appointment Tasks

I’ve got an appointment/meeting for which I need to complete some tasks before the actual event is taking place. It is important that I’ll be able to receive notifications whenever a Task is due as well as the final appointment.

Is there an easy way to somehow link this appointment and all its tasks together so I can see which tasks need to be completed before that appointment but also to see which appointment belongs to a specific task?

I'd like to add a Business Card (vCard or vcf-file) to be included with my email signature but this also adds an image of it in my signature which I do not want.

I deleted this image when designing my signature but that removed the Business Card as well.

Is there any way to create my signature with the vCard but without the image of it?

Wrapping text automatically option doesn’t seem to work

Wrapping text automatically option doesn't seem to work

I’ve set Outlook’s “Automatically wrap text at character” option to 40 instead of the default 76 but it doesn’t appear to do anything.

When I compose a message, the line still goes on forever and doesn’t break into a new line at character 40 at all. The same is true for the received message.

Why isn’t it working or what is this option supposed to do then?

Do not automatically accept all meetings as Tentative

Do not automatically accept all meetings as Tentative

I receive quite a lot of meeting invitations in my line of work but luckily I don’t have to attend all of them.

However, Outlook automatically accepts these meeting requests as “Tentative” and adds them to my calendar. This makes my Calendar look unnecessarily busy and also often confuses others who check my schedule.

Can I somehow prevent meetings from automatically being added as Tentative to my Calendar?

Pictures in messages from some senders and newsletters are not downloaded unless I click a bar above the message. Pictures in messages from others download as soon as the message is opened.

Have I created some kind of list that allows this to occur?
If so, how can I edit the list?
