You can then reopen the resulting MSG file using Namespace.OpenSharedItem (OUtlook 2007 specific) or use Application.CreateItemfromTemplate (it will wipe out all the sender related data). -- Dmitry Streblechenko (MVP) http://www.dimastr.com/ OutlookSpy - Outlook, CDO and MAPI Developer Tool - "Roman" <Roman[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:28A7A53A-DF31-4ECA-8265-A5B157406FE4[ at ]microsoft.com...

If you want more power than the OOM offers but don't want to make your eyes bleed, it's a fantastic way to get stuff done.
