To add a button to an Inspector (as opposed to Explorer), trap the
Application.Inspectors.NewInspector event, new Inspector will be passed as a
parameter, check if your button is already there (since Outlook reuses
inspectors), if yes, delete it, if no, add it as a temporary button
(Inspectors.CommandBars.Item("Standard").Controls.Add(...Temporary:=true,
....)) and sink the CommandBarButton.Click event.
