Hi John,

You can achieve this by handling Application.ItemLoad event,
in this you can look for MailItem as an Objet type, if it is then handle
MailItem's Open event.

Thanks,

Hi

I am trying to write an add-in in vs2008 for OL2003. Is there a way to
trap the item open event i.e. when a mail item is opened by user? This is
to give user choice of either opening the mail item as normal or allow the
add-in to do something else to the email?

Thanks

Regards
