Access to message header from Outlook.MailItem

[Jay Williams]

When my VBA script runs upon receiving a particular e-mail
(activated by a rule), I want to look at the header
information for that e-mail. However, there wasn't a
Header property for the MailItem (which seems strange). Is
there a way to get at the header for that MailItem?

Thanks,
Jay

The headers aren't exposed to the Outlook object model. They are in a
CDO/MAPI property named PR_TRANSPORT_MESSAGE_HEADERS. You can use code
similar to the link I pointed you to for getting the Internet headers.

What reference do I need to include for the interpreter to
be able to see the "MAPI" module? I'm getting a runtime
error saying it can't find the user defined type.

Thanks,
Jay

CDO 1.21 (CDO.DLL). It's an optional installation from the Office CD
for Outlook 2000 and later. It's listed as Collaboration Data Objects
in the Outlook installation options.
