Add-in problem: Process All Marked Header doesn't display email bodies
 

Fixed!

if (_explorer.Selection[1] is Outlook.MailItem)

becomes

bool isMailItem = false;

Object objectToInspect = _explorer.Selection[1];

Type type = objectToInspect.GetType();

try
{
if ((Outlook.OlObjectClass)type.InvokeMember("Class", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.GetProperty, null, objectToInspect, null) == Outlook.OlObjectClass.olMail)
{
isMailItem = true;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//eat
}

if (isMailItem)


Pretty obvious, really
:)

Thanks a lot, Ken

So try getting the item as an Object and using Reflection to get the Class
property or MessageClass property and examine the item type that way. See if
that causes the same problem as your cast.

Good.

I've found that sometimes casting will have odd effects but testing for
Class or MessageClass as you did before casting prevents the problems, as
you found.
