Afternoon, is it possible to capture the user's IP address or Hostname
and add it to an email when clicking send?
I only ask as i work on a software deployment team and i get requests
to install software for users and 9times out of 10 they forget to leave
the detail about there machine and sometimes even the software they
want

You need to handle the Application.ItemSend event in Outlook. For example
put this code in your 'ThisOutlookSession' code window and try it out:-
Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
Item.Body = Item.Body + vbCrLf & "Sent From " & Environ("computername")
End Sub
If I have solved your problem, please click Yes below. Thanks.

A recipient would have to be running your software for that to be possible.

here's how I do this
1. based on words in subject line "Install Software", I send back an autoreply
2. the autoreply contains a small .exe attachment with directions to run it.
3. when the user runs it, it captures the environ variables and emails results to me
