I have a custom addin that runs code when the mailitem.send event is fired, however in certain cases the mailitem.send is not fired and it skips to the application.itemsend event and i don't know why.

Here's the scenario. Compose a new email click "send", mailitem.send event is fired but due to custom code it appropriately cancels the event. I then click "send" again, the mailitem.send event is skipped and the application.itemsend event fires. I don't want to have any custom code behind the application.item send. I can run the same scenario on different machines and only find the problem with one configuration but I can't figure out what it could be. This problems occurs on specific Windows XP/Outlook 2003 machines.

Any help would be apprecatied.

It sounds to me like you're releasing something after that first Send()
event so your event handler is going out of scope or being garbage
collected. Check for that in your code.

Ken,

If it was code I should have the same problem across all the machines. Again it's just specific to one XP/Outlook 2003 machine. If I create a new email, enter "abc" in the to: field then click send, the outlook send event runs first before our custom code and notifies me I have an invalid recipient, I fix it and then click send again and my custom code never fires. So it seems whether it's Outlook canceling the send or our custom code canceling the send, the next time the send button is clicked our code is never called again. Let me know if you have any additional insight. Just to reiterate it's specific to a machine. I have 5 machines running xp/Outlook 2003 and 5 running vista/Outlook 2007 and the issue only occurs on one of the xp machines.

Does the addin code run at all after that on that machine, or is the addin
getting disabled by an unhandled exception? If you open another item and
send it does the code fire? If not that would indicate an unhandled
exception as in my first question or something going out of scope. Other
than some rogue software on that machine that's all I can think of.

Yes the addin still runs. I can open another email or several emails at one time and the addin still runs. It's quite strange so I was hoping someone had come across this issue before.

All I can say is if this is on just one machine that the only way to
ultimately figure it out will be to compare the differences on that machine
and try to eliminate them one by one until you narrow it down.
