Have you ever proudly composed a lengthy email in Outlook only to be disappointed to find it returned to your mailbox after you´ve sent it? It may be because you addressed it wrongly or made a mistake in the typing. In many cases you´ll find characters all over the returned email which make it look second hand. You´ll soon discover that the email is now "Read Only" which means you can´t edit it, and it´s not just a matter of resending it if you want it to keep its original appearance. Even if you copy and paste into a new form, you´ll find unwanted characters everywhere.

There is an easy way to convert a SENT email to an UNSENT one, allowing you to edit it and send it just like new. Did you know that just a single line inside the email tells Outlook whether the email has already been sent or not? If you add "X-Unsent: 1" to the correct place in a sent email it will magically revert to an unsent one. Magically revert SENT to UNSENT emails with these Handy Outlook Tools.
