Display Options Dialog Before Sending

By default, Outlook saves every sent email in the Sent Items folder, which is what you want in most cases. However, probably you'll send the one or other email that you don't need to keep, and for others you maybe want to request a read receipt. These and other options can be set on the Options dialog of the message. So maybe you want this dialog come up automatically for every email, which would save you one mouse click. (This macro works for up to Outlook 2010.)

  Dim oBars As Office.CommandBars
  Dim oBtn As Office.CommandBarButton

  Set oBars = oMail.GetInspector.CommandBars
  Set oBtn = oBars.FindControl(, 5598)
