The way to get the original message is what I indicated.

You certainly can add something to the UserProperties collection of an item
without saving it first, I do that all the time. Of course to preserve the
property you would have to save or send it.

I would like to use ItemProperty or UserProperty instead.. but for some
reason they are not available in the response mailitem until the item
is saved.. is there some other way to get access to the properties of
the original message?
