It looks like the added methods in the CommandBars collection aren't
available at all in Item_Open, either in form code or in Outlook VBA. They
are available when the first Inspector.Activate() event fires.

I hit an error both in the form code and Outlook VBA when I called
CommandBars.ExecuteMso() in Item_Open. I didn't in the first
Inspector.Activate() on that Inspector, however that's not an event you can
sink in form code.

The other gotcha related to this is that calling
ExecuteMso("ReviseContents") will open a new Inspector and close the
existing one (same item, but now in edit mode). So any Activate() code would
have to account for that since both NewInspector() and Inspector.Activate()
will fire again when that new Inspector is opened.
