Outlook 2003 New Mail Inspector Q "jpuopolo" <jpuopolo[ at ]hotmail.com> 9/7/2006 9:19:37 PM All: I have developed an Outlook 2003 Add-In (VSTO/.NET/C#) that recognizes when a new mail Inspector is created - it attaches a menu and things work fine. I would like to be able, when the user click on my menu, to read the names in the To and CC fields of the new mail (prior to any Send event being triggered). How can my add-in access to the To and CC edit fields of the New Mail window/inspector/explorer? Many thanks, John

Re: Outlook 2003 New Mail Inspector Q "Dmitry Streblechenko" <dmitry[ at ]dimastr.com> 9/7/2006 10:56:55 PM Inspector.CurrentItem will return the current MailItem object (unless your code works with other items too). From there you can loop through all the recipients in the MailItem.Recipients collection. The recipient kind (olTo/olCC/olBCC) is returned by the Recipient.Type property.

Re: Outlook 2003 New Mail Inspector Q "jpuopolo" <jpuopolo[ at ]hotmail.com> 9/8/2006 12:52:22 AM Dmitry: My MailItem.Recipients list is empty -- even though I have several names in the To field. I am accessing the MailItem via: Outlook.MailItem mailItem = ActiveInspector().CurrentItem as Outlook.MailItem; And when the mailItem is non-null, I attempt to loop through the Recipients collection - which contains 0 names... Thoughts? Do I need to somehow access the actual edit pane the recipient text is in? How?

Re: Outlook 2003 New Mail Inspector Q "Dmitry Streblechenko" <dmitry[ at ]dimastr.com> 9/8/2006 5:38:31 AM Are these recipients resolved? When do you call that code?

Re: Outlook 2003 New Mail Inspector Q "jpuopolo" <jpuopolo[ at ]hotmail.com> 9/8/2006 12:59:15 PM Dmitry: I get a resolved name (I type in someone's name to whom I have sent an e-mail before, and I get the resolved name - at least it appears to be a resolved name). I make this call when the user selects my custom menu. The command handler needs to get whatever text is in the "To" and "CC" fields of the New Mail Item window. The names may or may not be resolved. Maybe I need to actually access the window/pane or something where the text resides? John Dmitry Streblechenko wrote: [Quoted Text] > Are these recipients resolved?

Re: Outlook 2003 New Mail Inspector Q "Dmitry Streblechenko" <dmitry[ at ]dimastr.com> 9/8/2006 5:17:46 PM What happens if you click away from that To/CC/BCC edit to, say, the body of the message, and only then click your custom menu?

Re: Outlook 2003 New Mail Inspector Q "jpuopolo" <jpuopolo[ at ]hotmail.com> 9/12/2006 12:49:29 AM Dmitry: Hi.. Thanks for the follow up. I actually solved the problem by called myMailItem.Save() before trying to access the To, CC, and BCC fields. Once the item is saved (by default to the Drafts folder), everything works well - the only side effect being a copy of the message is in the Drafts folder.
