Programmatically adding Resend This Message to custom form toolbar?

[matt]

I've got a custom form which needs to make it easy for its user
population to make a few updates and resend it.

Outlook's "Resend This Message" action is sufficient for our purposes.
However, it's hidden beneath the Actions menu of a sent item. We'd
rather have it in a big button, either on the form itself or on a
toolbar. (Our users want it to be incredibly simple.)

We can't use a custom action, I believe, because our form is synched to
a public folder, not a library.

I can add a button to the form which will simulate the Resend
functionality fairly easily. However, if it's possible to
programmatically add the Resend action to the users' toolbar from our
form's script, I'd rather do that.
Any ideas?

Thanks! And happy new year.
Matt

This might be possible with CommandBars techniques, adding the button for
the Resend This Message command to the Standard toolbar when the item opens.
