hello Team,

I am looking for a method to retrieve info from replied messages that
are answers to messages i have sent myself.
In the message i send i want to enclose a category code that i want to
recognize when the receiver replies my message. Is this possible and how
?

Greetings
Peter
 
Are you talking about Outlook Categories? If so, any Category you assign to
an outgoing message will be visible by the recipient as long as they use
Outlook as well. If they reply to that message, the Category will still be
there when they send it and you will see it when you receive it.

No custom programming is required.

Or do you need to have some code evaluate the contents of an e-mail when a
message meeting specific criteria arrives in your Inbox? If so, you'd need
to hook into the MAPIFolder.Item_Add event for the Inbox and find any new
messages, then set a MailItem variable to the specific message and manipulate
it as you see fit.

Note that Item_Add won't fire if a large number of messages are received or
added at the same time. To catch everthing, you'd need to write an Exchange
Event Sink (if you use Exchange, that is).
