message with RTF in outbox disables rich text control?

i develop a VAR application that sends emails on behalf of the user (using
outlook automation usually via outlook redemption).

An increasing number of customers are coming up with an error (0x8000405
unspecified error) when same program tries to instantiate a richtext object
while emails are still in the outbox (or in drafts folder).

Or at least that is my initial diagnosis.

The richtext component seems fine. It was used to create the message body of
the original email and that email is sent ok.
Subsequent attempts to use the richtext control will work once the outbox is
empty.

But trying to instantiate the richtext component gives that error whilst my
RTF emails are in the outbox.

I first saw this about 3 months ago at one customer only.... but in the last
week another 3 or 4 have reported it. Is it being spread with an update?

This is using MS's own richtx32.ocx.

In an attempt to get around this the program switches the bodyformat to HTML
(once body has been set using the rtf string.) but that doesn't appear to be
helping.

Help !

Posting in THIS forum certainly doesn't guarantee a response. No one from
Microsoft reads it. It's not an official support venue. We're all just users
here.

I'm trying to remember a conversation with an MS support person from a
couple of years ago...... i thought it was hereabouts but i could be wrong.

I don't know if MSDN forums are managed. I know that Partner forums are
managed and have an SLA. This is a development question that could be
posted in the unmanaged group for Outlook developers.

I think that you are probably looking for this (Visual studio tools for
