When I open a outlook message in the windows explorer, my office plug-in will

be started with outlook application. I register my event handler for

Outlook.Application.Inspectors.NewInspector. And try to get the full path of

the message file in the handler function. I want to know where this message

file comes.

But I have no idea about how to get the full path. Does anyone meet the same

problem?
 
Once the item is opened in Outlook there's nothing in the object model that

would tell you where it originally was stored as a file.

That depends on what language and development platform you are using. If you

have no idea where the file was stored you will need to recursively search

everywhere in the file system. That sort of code is completely out of scope

for an Outlook group. Try asking in an appropriate language or platform

group and make sure to provide enough information so someone can answer you.
