Paul -

Thx for the links. I have been doing some heavy duty Outlook 2003 Add-In work with VSTO 2005 and needed access to Extended MAPI properties (Extended Headers in particular) as well as the MailItem that was in the Send event but not yet assigned an EntryID (normally with MAPI you get a MAPI.Message via the EntryID).

After extensive CDO 1.21. pain I finally went with Redemption http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/ which solved all of my issues.

Should we expect that Extended MAPI interfaces will be exposed in VSTO anytime soon?

thx,

Kevin,

I can vouch for Redemption; I've used it in my Contact Communications Logging program for years, and it's better at what it does than both the OOM and CDO.
