External Team Emails in Outlook

A customer of mine is using the Events Management Accelerator, and wanted an easy way to create an Outlook email to the External team Members for a Campaign. So we developed a little utility in Outlook to enable this functionality:
We added a toolbar in Outlook:


and clicking the button shows a form which displays the current Campaigns

and then clicking a campaign loads all the External Team Members for that campaign




Clicking a name in the Team Members list adds it to the Email list, or clicking the "Add all" button adds all the team members to the email lsit



Clicking the Email button creates a new Outlook email with the To field populated with the Team Members.
