How to tell if a mail is encrypted or not.

Andy Yu

Hi,
I'm looping through the MailItems in my inbox and redirecting them to
several other addresses.
I want handle encrypted mails differently.
How can I tell if an email is encrypted or not? Don't seem to find anything
on the MailItem object.

Anyone have a hint?

Thanks in advance!

/Andy

If Item.MessageClass = "IPM.Note.SMIME" or you can check the named
property ContentType which would begin with something like
"application/x-pkcs7-mime". You would need to use CDO or Extended MAPI
or Redemption to get at the named property though.
