Developer question. Looking for unique Entourage property

S

Sorry

Hi,
I am developing an application for exchange server and would like to support
entourage clients but don't have it available for debugging. However this
should not be a problem if I can determine what items are coming from an
Entrourage client.

The question is: Is there a message property / cdo field (or combination) I
can evaluate when an item arrives at the exchange server that tells me the
item was created by entrourage?

A related question is; Does OWA behave differently (from a development point
of view; communication and messages) when accessed from a Mac web browser
compared to a Windows web browser?

thanks,
John

Would the MTA be sufficient? e.g.,

User-Agent: Microsoft-Entourage/10.1.0.2418

Ultimately, I don't think so. There is a "downlevel" experience for browser
that aren't WinIE6 and above, which means pretty much everything on the
Macintosh. It uses static pages rather than some kind (ActiveX?) of
scripting.

That, unfortunately, I do not know. There is a list on MSDN of all such
properties for MAPI:

However, you can access Fields by name via the Fields collection. I would
suggest writing a sample script that just enumerated every defined field
until you saw the MTA field (if it exists) and then use that Name (and/or
its proptag, if you can figure it out).

Hope this helps!
