Is it possible to add items to the right click context menu in Outlook,
specifically XP and 2003? If so where might I find code or programming
resources to do that?

Thank you

Outlook does not directly expose the right-click context menu in its CommandBars collection. You will, however, see a new right-click command is when the item selected is using a custom form that includes one or more custom actions. You can also add a custom action without using a custom form, as demonstrated at http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=526

Richard Kagerer has posted a code sample at http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=314 that shows how you might trick Outlook into exposing the context menu through Explorer.CommandBars.

The C++ sample add-in at http://www.codeproject.com/atl/outlook2k3addin.asp also shows a technique for working with the context menu.
