When WordMail is running the window is an instance of "OpusApp" and the
actual Outlook message is a subwindow under that. It's exact name depends on
the Outlook version. MSWord.exe is being subclassed as an editor in that
case.

You can always get ConversationTopic and ConversationIndex from the response
message. ConversationTopic would remain the same as the original message and
ConversationIndex would be longer from the new Windows time struct appended
to the previous ConversationIndex. That would allow you to find the original
message. If you store the original's parent folder you know where to look.

Hi guys..
I have an Outlook plugin for Outlook 2003 SP2 + VS2005 + C#. The
plugin adds extended properties to each message. These properties need
to be inherited by the responses/forwards and so how do I get the
original message from the Response?

I am using the outlook wrapper and the IOleWindow interface to store
instances of open inspectors. But the IOleWindow interface does not
return a window handle when outlook is configured to use word as the
email editor. Because of this I cannot use the Item_Forward event to
save the inhereted property to the response.

There has got to be a way to determine the parent message from the
response. Please help.
