How to get RFC822 format message from the MailItem object.

[Sandeep K]

Hi All,
I want to send email content from the email in outlook 2007 and 2003 to some
server in rfc822 format but i am not able to get even complete message from
MailItem object. Can someone help me to find out how can i create rfc822
format compliant email message from MailItem object.

I have not seen any answer to my email so let me give more details on the
problem. My requirement is to post complete content of email to some server.
Now this server accepts messages in RFC822 format which is std email format.
I have not found any API to get complete message content. Can i at least get
that or I have to live with retrieving subject, body and headers separately.

Are you using the Redemption library at all? That has an option to save
messages in RFC822 format. You would use the RDOMail.SaveAs() method with an
olRFC822 argument.

No I am not using Redemption library. I am developing VSTO 2005 SE Add-in in
C#.

Other than brute force that's the only way I know to do what you want.
