Appending email headers in Outlook...(Newbie question)

Hi,

I have been asked to develop and addin for Outlook 2k (VB6 COM) that has a
custom menu containing a list of projects. Selecting a project will append
the headers of the email with a project ID string and send the email to the
recipient.

I have been successful in getting the list of projects to work but I am
stuck on the next 2 bits; appending the email header and actually sending
the email.

Can anybody point me in the right direction for either of these?

Thanks in advance,

Stu

Are you sending the messages within the same Exchange domain or via SMTP?

I will be sending the messages via SMTP.

You need to add a named property with a GUID
{00020386-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}, the named property id must be of
type MNID_STRING. The name of the property will become the header name.
Works with both Exchange and IMAIL providers in Outlook.
You can do that using any API except Outlook Object Model.
