I've been roped into sorting out various computer related problems, and one of them has stumped me slightly!

Currently the couple get automated emails from online booking forms (they run a caravan park), when they get one of these in outlook, they click reply and then select a pre-made response from the signatures list (Insert, Signatures...).

Now they have an iPad 2 and want to be able to do something similar.

Does anyone know any way that I can do this using that?

Basically I want to be able to select from a list or pre-made responses when composing or replying to an email.

Thanks for any help.:)
 
Why didn't I think of that?! :rolleyes: :p

I have made a sort of solution, it uses an app called Canned Mail, which is a list of premade responses which you can click on, select the response, fill in the 'to' email address and send.

All they have to do is -

1 - Click on sender name in email
2 - Hold down on email address, click copy.
3 - Use multitasking bar/go to homescreen and select Canned Mail
4 - Select response
5 - Hold down in 'to' field, click paste.
6 - Click send.


Not the most elegant solution, but probably the best available...

Anyone else got any ideas which are slicker?

Cheers. :)
 
TextExpander Touch. /scrap that. Doesn't work with mail. Pastebot would also do the trick though.
 
this may or not work. i did discover that you can set up short cuts for words. so if for example you typed BRB it would spell it out for you in a msg or an email. you can obviously create your own ones. so they could do that. if theres a pre determined message they want just type it into the settings and then for the actual message just type MESSAGE1 or something and then it fills it all out.
