BodyFormat not returned within Outlook 2002 and VB6 add-in

Hello

I have created a Outlook add-in and am trying to determine if the mail
message I am processing is in HTML format to then determine whether I
should be saving attachments.

What I'm getting is very funny. If I let the process run "undebugged"
MailMsg.BodyFormat always returns 0 (however, randomly it can return
the right result)

But, if I break the code and watch the mailMsg it magically returns
the right value.

Am I missing something fundamental here?? It seems very odd to me.

Any help greatly appreciated
