Copy mail after send

[Yoeri]

Hello,

I need to adjust the send message form.
The purpose is to add a dropdown folder with a list of all folders in a
mailbox. (Each customer of ours has a folder in the customers mailbox).

After selecting a folder, and sending a mail, a copy of the mail must be
placed in the selected customers folder.

Whe just copying in the Item_send() event handler, I have the problem
that the "From:" field is empty. And the property on mailitem is
readonly :-{

So, I thought of the following:
Each customer folder has a certain name like: 0001 - Customer1
The number is a sort of an ID.
After sending the mail, I want to add the ID to the subject and resend
it to the customers mailbox, where a rule places it in the correct
folder. I don't want to have the ID in the subject that goes to the
customer, so I need to send a copy of the original mail.

Are there any examples (or other help) to do this ?
Is there another way to do this (via an addin) ?


Thanks

Yoeri

I have used something similar for a filing system. Created dropdown box with
all filenames, required field, to be selected by the email sender. I then
created an Outlook rule to copy the sent item to a folder called filing
system. This folder is viewed grouped by subject.
Another way would be to use categories. Hope this helps.
