How to Retrieve Header Info from MailItem

[The Ricster]

I am working in (Outlook) VB and trying to retrieve the same info that is
seen when you right click a mail item in outlook and select Options. You get
a window which has a panel at the bottom marked "Internet Headers", which
contains info like the IP address of the sender and such.

Is there a way to retrieve this info programattically? I can't seem to find
the Object and or property that will devulge this info. I am pretty sure
that it must be a property of the "MailItem" object, but I can't seem to
locate it.

Any assistance will be greatly apprecaiated.

No, it's not a MailItem property. You must use CDO or, to avoid security
prompts, Redemption. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/forms/headers.htm for
a sample project.

That's not exposed in the Outlook object model. You have to use CDO 1.21
(optional installation for Outlook 2000 and later) or Extended MAPI (C++ or
Delphi code only) or Redemption (3rd party DLL at
www.dimastr.com/redemption) for that.

For a CDO 1.21 code example see
http://www.slovaktech.com/code_samples.htm#InternetHeaders The code needs to
have a project reference set to CDO.DLL (CDO 1.21) for it to work.
