Environment:
-Outlook 2002(XP)
-Added references to "Microsoft Outlook 10.0 Object Library" & "Microsoft
CDO 1.21 Library"

I have written a VB project using MS Visual Basic 6.0. My intention is to
add a X-Header to a mail that is being sent from

Outlook. I am capturing the ItemSend event and trying to add the header in
that event handler.

Please find the complete source code below. Please note that the Sub
ChangeHeader() is working fine if I call it for

an existing mail in my Outlook Inbox. But I have a problem in calling this
ChangeHeader() from my ItemSend event handler, as

ChangeHeader() takes MAPI.Message as an argument, but MyOLApp_ItemSend() is
giving me Outlook.MailItem.

How do I convert Outlook.MailItem to MAPI.Message?
Or
Is there any other way to add the X-header without needing to have a
MAPI.Message object?


Thanks,
Gopi
