No level of Outlook 2000 fires NewInspector() when a WordMail Inspector is
opened.

I've never been happy with any attempts to use a Word addin to try to handle
WordMail due to how msword.exe is subclassed by Outlook for use in WordMail.

The best workaround I've found is a timer that checks the count of the
Inspectors collection. If an Inspector is extant and not included in your
Inspector wrapper collection then it's either a WordMail object or a Simple
MAPI Inspector (opened using Send To Mail Recipient or a variant of Send
To).

If an Inspector is a Simple MAPI Inspector it will always use the Outlook
editor and not WordMail, so an easy test if you find an unhandled Inspector
in the Inspectors collection is to check and see if Inspector.IsWordMail is
True.

Hi,

We're working on an OL2000 COM addin that adds menu to New Mail
window. Based on online literature, we should handle the New Inpsector
event, however we found this event will not fire when using Word as
email editor. We found the following KB which confirms the behavior:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/218298/en-us

My questions a
1. Is this behavior still true for OL2000 SP3 and there is no way to
get the New Inspector event in OL2000 as long as Word is used as
editor?
2. If so, what is the recommended workaround for this behavior?
3. There are some suggestions on using a Word addin to handle this
case, are there examples on using Word addin together with Outlook?
4. If we do use Word addin, do we use Word object model? If we do use
Word object model, how does it handle mail aspect of the document, for
example subject/attachment?

Thanks

Jim
