why can't I see voting buttons in a bloomberg email?

Question

Hello,

I'm sending an email from Outlook 2003 (soon to be 2007) to a colleague's Bloomberg email address. I added voting buttons to it. Outlook users can all see the buttons, but the colleague who's reading the email in his Bloomberg console cannot. Is there any way I can get those voting buttons to be displayed to him? If not, are there any options available to me that will allow me to use a click event to track a recipient's response to a yes/no question? At the moment I'm doing this all manually, but the goal is to create a VBA program to automate the sending of these emails and the tracking of recipient responses.

Thanks, Diana

Answer 1

Voting buttons are a proprietary Outlook feature and will only work in Outlook.
