the OE case is more interesting to me - so you are saying there is no
equivalent plugin mechanism for this thing? Do you have any information at
all as to how I might get OE to load some sort of custom DLL so that I can
add to the toolbar, intercept buttons on the toolbar and grab the message
text.. there must be *some* way to get OE to load a dll - i see aftermarket
products adding toolbars and so on.. are they hacking their way into the app
by subclassing the existing windows or something like that?
