Modifying the values of an Outlook inspector window (From,To..) lsmiranda[ at ]gmail.com 3/21/2007 11:05:30 PM Hi, I have the from/to/body/etc fields of an email as individual strings. I would like to recreate the mail item and provide it to the user as an inspector window (that has 'reply'/reply to all/forward as the inspector window, similar to double clicking on an existing email in your inbox)... I can construct a mail item, but the 'FROM' field is read only... so i have a feeling i may need to tweak the inspector window... I was thinking to intercept the inspector upon creation, set its current item to my mailitem, and modify the FROM field in the actual inspector window.. Are there any examples of how to modify these fields? Is this field even modifyable in the inspector window? any help appreciated, including what properties i should be looking at related to inspector windows... thanks! Luis

Re: Modifying the values of an Outlook inspector window (From,To..) lsmiranda[ at ]gmail.com 3/22/2007 1:55:59 PM Thanks. Just to clarify, maybe i should rephrase the question briefly. I have no mailitem object. But i have, lets say from a database, 4 strings, the from/to/subject/body of an old mail. I want to reconstruct an email message and provide inspector window. The FROM field in a mailItem object is readonly (which makes sense), so any ideas on how to provide valid 'from' data in the inspector?

Re: Modifying the values of an Outlook inspector window (From,To..) "j" <Evgeny.Br[ at ]gmail.com> 3/23/2007 6:57:09 PM Create new mailItem object and fill it fields with appropriate values, after this delete the old mailItem.
