Find out what user clicked on: 'Reply' or 'New'
 

Your help is much appreciated. Thank you.
Question: Is it possible to find out what the user clicked on(Forward,
Reply, New, etc) and make a decision based on such a finding?
I would like to grab some custom properties from an MailItem based on what
the user action; if the user clicked on 'Reply', then I would recycle
property [A] and [b], but if the user clicked on 'New', then I would like to
grab only [A]. Thank you for your time and effort.

At the time it is created, a reply always has Recipients.Count 0 and a non-blank Subject property. A forward has a non-blank Subject and body, but Recipients.Count = 0. A completely new item has blank subject and body and Recipients.Count = 0.
