A bug was introduced in the hotfix that upped the Outlook 2003 SP version to
11.8010.6568. If you cancel a Send using code you get a "false"
Inspector.Close event. If you then close the Inspector in the UI or using
code you get the "true" .Close event.

This doesn't happen in other versions of Outlook or other builds of Outlook
2003. There you do not get an Inspector.Close event unless the Inspector is
really closing. However, the order in which Inspector.Close and Item.Close
will fire does vary depending on whether the item was sent or just closed.

A workaround I use is to set a timer object in the Send event handler if I'm
canceling the send. I set the timer for 500 ms which gives WordMail a chance
to repaginate the email, which is does if running when an item is sent or
closed. I also set a class level flag to indicate that a send was canceled.

When the timer fires I can then close the Inspector if I want or take any
other action I want. In the meantime the original "false" Inspector.Close
event will have fired. There I check the flag value and if True I just exit
..Close. If False I continue with my shutdown code.

The solution works with all the Outlook versions I've tested it on.

Sorry.. I provided some incorrect information.. Let me try again..

the the above events wired up, If is set the bool cancel to true in
MailItem_Send, MailItem_Close is skipped and Inspector_Close is fired.
Where as when I close the message window, MailItem_Close gets fired and
then there is a popup box displayed asking if I want to save the
message before closing.

Now my issues is that I display custom UI elements in the inspector
window and need to place the cleanup code somewhere. This cleanup code
would include unwiring of events.

Can't use Inspector_Close because it gets called event if the bool
cancel is set to true in MailItem_Close

Can't use MailItem_Close because it gets called before the popup is
displayed asking the user if they want to save the edits for later as
draft and if the user hits cancel, the inspector is still available.

Hope this makes sense.
