Hello,

I'm looking to save myself quite a bit of work. on avg, i'm receiving about 200 emails a day with automated .txt file attachments. the .txt files have information that i need from an automated source. all i have to do is look at 2 lines of the .txt e-mail and know exactly what needs to be done, but it gets annoying to have to open the .txt file every time to pull that info out of it.

is there a way to have a macro or anything automatically transcribe the .txt text into the body of an e-mail?

i'm open to ideas such as, if it needs to be a macro that copies the .txt to a file location, then copies the text out of it and sends it as a new e-mail - this would be fine as well.

simply selecting 'preview' file in outlook isn't really working as an automated way for me.

using outlook 2013, windows 10 64 bit

Thanks!
