Message Class and Forms
I'm trying to mailitems to display a different (custom) icon in their
respective folders. To do this, I've created a form based off of the standard message form, and modified the icons. I've (seemingly) successfully installed the form. So, my question is: Is the Message form the right form to base this off of? After all, it is just on the viewing side, not create side. Furthermore, either using OOM or Mapi, I can seemingly successfully set the Message Class, and while my other properties set persist through to delivery, my messages keep coming in as 'IPM.Note'. What am I missing to set this? Thanks in Advance, J |
Message Class and Forms
If you really, really want a custom icon, a custom form is the only way to
do that. Do you mean when you send the message through SMTP, the custom message class does not make it through? When a message is converted to MIME, the message class cannot be mapped to any of the MIME headers. You can of course send in the RTF format (the infamous winmail.dat attachment which stores MAPI specific properties), but mail clients other than Outlook won't be able to read winmail.dat.

I see. Yes, this is in regards to going through SMTP. I might be able
to add a custom transport header and convert the PR_MESSAGE_CLASS OnDelivery. I'm open to suggestions. The other point was, for just a viewing messages, is a form based off of the Message form the way to go? What about post or another type?

I am not sure I understand what you mean - there is really no difference
between regular messages (IPM.Note) or posts (IPM.Post), at least from the MAPI and forms point of view.

Yes, it really isn't a technical question. It's more about design,
since the 'message' form seems to be essentially used for 'sending' messages, I'm not sure if it's appriopriate as a 'viewer' form. What I want is form for just reading or viewing recieved messaages. I hope that makes sense.

Your form can behave in a different way based on whether the mesage is sent
or not. Dmitry Streblechenko (MVP) http://www.dimastr.com/ OutlookSpy - Outlook, CDO and MAPI Developer Tool "JahMic" wrote in message ups.com... Yes, it really isn't a technical question.
