To turn on inline comments in Outlook follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Tools menu, click Options.
  2. On the Preferences tab, click E-mail Options.
  3. Select the Mark my comments with check box, and then type the text that you want to use with your comments (e.g. Gandhi, Devang). This text appears in brackets when you add inline comments to a message reply.

Once these settings are done, go to the message and click Reply. Click in the body of the original message and start typing. The comment text that you created above appears as a prefix e.g. [Gandhi, Devang] to your comment.

Youtube and google adsense have teamed together to bring the Adsense Video units. This lets you create a custom flash video player on youtube with different colors and size. The content for the videos can be selected from various categories. The player displays an adsense ad banner at the very top.

Unable to open email messages received as an attachment in Outlook

Posted by Devang Gandhi on March 10th, 2008

I was unable to open email messages that were sent to me as an attachment in another email in Outlook 2003. After some googling, I realized that google desktop 5.5 was creating this problem.

The solution:

In Outlook navigate to Tools -> Options -> Other -> Advanced Options. Remove the tick mark (deselect) for Google Desktop in both the Ad-In Manager and the Com Ad-Ins. This should fix it.
