U2U Email Snippets for Outlook 2007 and SharePoint 2007

My colleagues at U2U have been busy writing a really nice OBA (Office Business Application) allowing information workers to reuse text snippets in email messages. Download and more info here. Great work guys and girls!

With this add-in you can save your email message, or a part of the message, as a snippet in a private or public sharepoint list.
When composing a new email message you can reuse this ready-made snippet by inserting it in your new email message.

The Outlook add-in gets the email snippets from a SharePoint list so first you need to create a special SharePoint 2007 list in order to store your email snippets. This SharePoint list should run on one of your corporate servers. In your company, you can share the list with multiple employees or you can create a private list for each person. These lists can be created manually or by the configuration panel of the add-in. Creating the lists using add-in gives you the certainty that the list has the required columns. If you want you can store some initial email snippets into that SharePoint list.  Later on, while writing a new email, you can use the U2U Email Snippets task pane in Outlook 2007 to choose a specific email snippet from the SharePoint list and insert that snippet in to your mail.
