Hi,

I am using Outlook 2007. In the NewMail event, is it possible to identify if

the MailItem is a read receipt?

Could someone help me?

Thanks in advance.
 
Look for a MessageClass property that starts with "REPORT.IPM.Note" and ends

with "IPNRN" to identify a read receipt.

Thanks for the reply.

Well, I am rather new to OutLook vba. Is it possible for you to give a

sample / example code?

Well, for one thing I wouldn't use NewMail(). It doesn't tell you what was

received and it misses things. I'd use NewMailEx() instead, which supplies a

list of items received as a list of EntryID's.

Always use F2 to open the Object Browser and that lets you see all methods,

properties and events for all Outlook items. Then use the Help to see code

samples. In the case of Application.NewMailEx() the code sample shows how to

get an item from the collection of EntryID's. That item (mai) can be used

thusly to check the MessageClass:

If ((Left(mai.MessageClass, Len("REPORT.IPM.Note")) = _

"REPORT.IPM.Note") And (Right(mail.MessageClass, _

Len("IPNRN")) = "IPNRN")) Then

' this is a read receipt, do whatever

End If

You should also become familiar with the www.outlookcode.com Web site, that

has code samples for almost anything Outlook related.

Well, I tried it. I am getting into a strange situation wherein:-

(a) The EntryCollection argument has string values

(b) I split the EntryCollection string on "," and use the individual

EntryID strings to retrieve the mail Items

(c) However, the GetItemFromID(EntryID) returns nothing. The EntryID

argument is not null and the value does not correspond to the new inmail.

What to do?

That is the correct procedure, and it has worked that way for me in the

past.

Are you using a StoreID argument? I'd try that and see if it helps. You can

get Inbox using NameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox) and use the

StoreID property from that object.

Are you getting any exceptions or just nothing?

I am using a storeID arguement. I am not getting any exception but the

MaiItem is showing as nothing.

No idea. Similar code works here. Step the code in the debugger and see if

you can find out that way what the problem is.
