A reply or forward is a brand new item. You would need to add the same
information in the X-header to the new item or to a user property or named
property. You might need to use the conversation topic and conversation
index properties to find the original or preceding item in a conversation to
pick up that information from the earlier item and add it to the new item.

Hello --
I have a C# plugin for Outlook 2k3 that sets predefined message
classifications in X-Headers using redemption. The issue is that those
headers are not inherited by the new item that is created whenever a
mail is forwarded or replied to. I need help with either getting the
headers of the original message or any ideas on where to store the
classification information so that it will be available in replies and
forwards..

Thanks

Sanjay
