ReplyAll Event in MS Outlook Does not trigger if MailItem is not o

[Naamat]

Hi,

We have developed an Outlook add-in using VB6 to respond to various emial
events. The ReplyAll event works for us if the Mail Item is opened, however
if the user is on the main screen of outlook where he has the email
highlighted then clicks the Replyall button on the toolbar, then the event is
not fired.

Is this the normal behaviour, or are we missing something?

Thanks for your help.

For items in an Explorer you have to handle the Explorer's SelectionChange
event and instantiate a mail item declared WithEvents for every selected
item. Those instantiated items can be put in a collection to keep their
references alive and to allow them to respond individually to an event such
as ReplyAll or Reply. When the Selection changes you clear out the existing
collection and release each item in the collection and instantiate a new
bunch of items and add them to the collection.
