Hello,

Would setting 'FlagStatus' & 'FlagDueBy' for an outgoing email message
also create reminders on the recipient's computer, or only the
sender's?




Thx,
JP

It depends on the recipient's email program and their mail server. In most
cases the information on the flagging will be sent and received by the
recipient.

Usually it's MS Outlook, but is there information in the return header
that could be checked to tell which mail reader it is?

Thank you. What I meant was, is there a property of an incoming email
that could be checked to determine what mail reader someone is using?
Or is it so client-specific that there's no way? For example

Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim olNS As Outlook.Namespace
Dim olInbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim Item As Outlook.MailItem

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Set olApp = GetObject(, "outlook.application")
Set olNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set olInbox = olNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

For Each Item In olInbox.Items

MsgBox Item.Subject
MsgBox Item.SenderName
MsgBox Item.To
MsgBox Item.Attachments.Count

????

End sub


Thx,
JP

No, there is no property like that. The best you can do is parse the
Internet mail headers to see if anything useful is in there.

The mail headers are only there in emails received over the Internet and
you must use an alternate API such as CDO 1.21 or Redemption
(www.dimastr.com/redemption) or Extended MAPI to read the
PR_TRANSPORT_MESSAGE_HEADERS property unless you are using Outlook 2007
where you can use the new PropertyAccessor object to read the headers. The
headers property is not exposed in the Outlook object model.

i use Office 2007 on my PC and Office 2008 on my Mac. 2007 has a
reminder feature so that when you send an email with a task to a
recipient, it pops up a message to remind them about the email. On the
Mac there is "Add Recipient" but it doesnt send reminder to the
recipient.

Does anyone know how to achieve the email recipient Entourage feature on
the Mac?

You probably want to post this in microsoft.public.outlook.mac.
