Example

This Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example uses the ReplyAll event and reminds the user that proceeding will reply to all original recipients of an item and, depending on the user's response, either allows the action to continue or stops it. To use this example, open an existing mail item, run the Initialize Handler() procedure, then reply to the item.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Public WithEvents myItem As MailItem

Sub Initialize_Handler()
Set myItem = Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem
End Sub


Private Sub myItem_ReplyAll(ByVal Response As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim mymsg As String
Dim myResult As Integer
mymsg = "Do you really want to reply to all original recipients?"
myResult = MsgBox(mymsg, vbYesNo, "Flame Protector")
If myResult = vbNo Then
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
