Saving & opening *.msg files

[Steve Pull]

I've written a project using VB6 with the Outlook object
to create and send mail messages. I want to keep copies of
mail messages in .msg files. When I'm ready to send the
mail I use the following
objMailItem.SaveAs <FileName>, olMsg
objMailItem.Send
This works OK but when I open the file (by double clicking
in windows explorer) it shows
This message has not been sent
Any suggestions as to how I could do a SaveAs after the
Send would be much appreciated.

Also any suggestions how to re-open the .msg file in VB as
this doesn't seem to be in the outlook object.

You can wait until the message ends up in the Sent Items folder (e.g. you
can use MAPIFolder.Items.ItemAdd event), then save it from there.
