display header info in outlook frame below the email

[Dinesh]

hello everybody,

iam using this code to read the email header.

Outlook.MailItem mail;
mail = (Outlook.MailItem)thisexplo.Selection[1];
string ID = mail.EntryID;
Redemption.RDOSession sess = new Redemption.RDOSession();
sess.MAPIOBJECT = mail.Session.MAPIOBJECT;
Redemption.RDOMail rMail = sess.GetMessageFromID(ID, null, null);
MessageBox.Show("header info " +
rMail.get_Fields(0x007D001E).ToString));

This is working perfectly and iam getting the header. In this iam display it
in the message box. i want display 2 lines from the header below the email
which should while i click the email to read in the outlook express. so it
possible the display in below the mail instantly ?. if so help with the idea
how to do it in c#.

thank you.

Outlook Express? Or do you really mean Outlook? They are completely
different programs. The object model exposed for OE is minimal and mostly
non-functional. You can find it documented at MSDN. There is a library for
OE from Nektra that does provide a more complete way to program OE, but I
have no idea if can do what you want. That you'd have to find out.

If you really meant Outlook then depending on which version of Outlook you
can use a form region or custom task pane for Outlook 2007 to display the
header information on either an item viewed in the preview pane or an open
item. For earlier versions of Outlook you can't do that or display anything
in the preview pane, you'd have to open a Windows form when the item was
opened to show the header information or use a custom form and provide form
code to display the header information in a control added to the custom
form, such as a textbox.

Take a look at the information on form regions, custom task panes and custom
forms at www.outlookcode.com.

Yes, as I said you can create either a form region or a custom task pane for
Outlook 2007. Not for Outlook 2003 however.

There are examples of both in the sample addins for Outlook 2007 on the
Office Online Web site as well as in my Outlook 2007 templates at
