The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Project for Windows, version 4.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======
The Microsoft Project macro recorder will not record information that is
entered into the mail dialog box when you send files. The Mail System does
not record these parameters or pass them back to the initiating
application.
This behavior is by design of Microsoft Project.

WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this situation, use the module editor to edit the recorded
macro and enter the appropriate parameters for the MailSend method.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps To Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
1. Enter a new task.
2. From the Tools menu, choose Record Macro. Type "MAIL" in the Macro Name
   box, and then choose OK.
3. From the File menu, choose Send, and enter an email name in the "To:"
   field and a subject in the "Subject:" field and then choose Send.
4. From the Tools menu, choose Stop Recording.
5. From the Tools menu, choose Macros, select MAIL, and choose Edit.

The parameters that were entered in the "To:" And "Subject:" fields do not
appear. "MailSend" is the only command that is recorded.
