I was sending out a meeting request through Microsoft Office Outlook today, and I got this warning message.
I used a comma to separate email addresses when I typed them. This is wrong, it is my fault, and I have to go back and fix it.
Outlook can clearly detect the problem, and the QA process revealed that people make this mistake often enough to warrant a specific warning. Yet, there is no way to make the tool actually fix this. Not only is there no "quick fix" button: you cannot find-and-replace within the "To:" field of the meeting request, so a user has to manually go in and replace the commas with semicolons. I guess that is the Microsoft Office usability engineers' way of training us to do things the Outlook Way (tm).
Clearly MS is looking out for all those people with commas in their screen name.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's it.
