ANN: OutlookVim - version 7.0

[David Fishburn]

OutlookVim is a plugin for Microsoft Windows Outlook users.

It simply adds a button in Outlook which will spawn Vim, allow you to
edit the body of the currently open email and when you :w, it will
update Outlook with the results.

There are more details, you can read about them here:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3087

New to version 7.0

New Features
------------
1. Added support for Outlook 2010.

2. Added documentation on how to self sign the Outlook Vim macro so that
security settings do not have to change in Outlook to use the macro.
Changing these settings are not possible in some companies.

As usual, with all my plugins, feedback good and bad is always welcome.

Enjoy.
Dave

Hi,

I am trying to use this but, when i click my button i created in Outlook, i keep getting:

OutlookVim: Could not create a Vim OLE object please ensure Vim has been installed.
Inside Vim run this command; it should echo 1.
:echo has('ole')


I run the command it does indeed echo 1.

I am using Outlook 2007, and am using Vim (64 bit) on windows.

Any ideas?

Thanks,


Russ

That is easy, just use mutt!

IT uses vim by default!
