_newinspector event isn't firing for SendTo Mail Recipient

[Mike]

Hi,
Im having a problem with an OL 2000 add-in written in vb6.

The add-in works fine for new items created from within Outlook but the
_newinspector event isn't firing when a new mail item is generated from
outside Outlook using the SendTo Mail Recipient option.

Any help appreciated

Mike

It won't. No Inspectors are added to the Inspectors collection when you use
SendTo because it's interfacing to Outlook via Simple MAPI.

Ken --
So is there no way for to capture those emails using the current outlook
add-in framework?

There's no way to capture them in .NET or COM code. You'd have to have a
Windows Message handler that checks for any new window that's opened and
check for an Outlook window opening up. How functional that would be even if
you got it I have no idea.
