MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Add-Ins / February 2006Outlook 2003 first email open problem
Hi, I'm having a problem with my Outlook 2003 addin. My addin is required to process e-mails before the user reads the text. When a new inspector is opened, my addin examines the body text and if necessary processes the text and stores the result back into the Body member. This works fine for most of the time. Unfortunately it seems that Outlook is replacing my body text when the first email is read. The new inspector event gets fired, my processing runs and replaces the body but by the time the email is displayed, the original text is back in the Body member. After the first mail item is opened, the addin works fine. Can anyone suggest a work around for this problem? If I execute my code in response to a toolbar button click, the processing works ok, so at the minute I have to tell users to manually click the button the first time they read a mail (which isn't very friendly). Thanks in advance, Andy Try waiting until the first Inspector.Activate event fires before making the change and see what happens. Set a flag in that code so it won't run again if the Inspector becomes deactivated and then re-activated.

I've never seen Outlook behave differently in this respect for the first email opened up and later ones. Is this with WordMail only or the Outlook editor only or with either editor? Anything like message format causing any differences (HTML, plain text, RTF)?

The problem is exactly the same for plain text, HTML, and rich text. >There has to be something else going on then.

Well, I've still never seen that behavior in any of my addins so something else must be going on.
