JJ,
Post by JJPerhaps the state changes have not been commited yet?
Good call, but I don't think so: the "ignored" states (for all the newsgroup
messages in my "send" folder) have been there for quite a while (weeks).
Post by JJI'm out of idea.
As the "watched" and "ignored" states are not even mentioned in the "Message
State Flags" (for the 'dwState' field) I'm currently presuming that those
are ignored/activily supressed while filling in the MESSAGEPROPS record.
Which ofcourse, makes the IStoreFolder::GetNextMessage result a whole lotta
less usable to me.
Post by JJThe problem with Microsoft is that they always have something to hide, and
have something already visible which they want to hide. If it's too early,
the information may not be there yet. If it's too late, the (perfectly
still valid)
information may no longer be there.
Information about which bit means what is one thing. But that doesn't stop a
program from doing its thing and returning those status bits - which it
doesn't seem to do.
Post by JJI think MSOE have its own interpretations of message attachment.
Thats my conclusion too. And I don't even blame them for it, as there is
some logic in it.
Post by JJBecause MSOE supports HTML email, there would be no point of it to mark a
message as having an attachment if the message's actual attachments are only
a HTML content - which MSOE will natively display.
Personally I positivily hate HTML-ed messages - email or otherwise. So I've
set OE to display everything in "plain text". Which might be the cause of
those ATTxxxxx.htm "attachments" being shown.
Post by JJThe IMF_ATTACHMENTS might represent the actual attachments
of the message. But MSOE (the application; not its database) may
ignore it - depending on the contents of the attachments.
Thats why Im mentioned that the message of which I posted the returned
MESSAGEPROPS data had an image attached - which showed in the "paperclip"
column, but isn't mentioned as IMF_ATTACHMENTS or otherwise.
Besides, I would expect to see a bunch of other IMF_xxx flags too.
IMG_TEXT, IMF_PLAIN, IMF_MIME, IFM_MULTIPART to name a few. But no, all
I've seen is either the IMF_NEWS flag or nothing. Which is, with the mix
of messages I have in both the "send items" as well as "inbox" folders,
simply not possible.
No, I think that the MSOE objects are crippeled, especially made to only
return partial data. MS gave OE as a freebie, to get you to buy Outlook.
Alas for them, lots of people could do everything they needed with the free
version. :-)
And by the way : I assumed those MSOE objects (IStoreNamespace and
sibblings) would be used by OE (MSIMN EXE) itself. As far as I now can
tell it doesn't (read: those objects are not the entry point I was looking
for).
Thanks for the responses.
