Again: create item with Sent flag set

I'm again/still struggling with creating a new custom (!) item in the
inbox with the 'sent' set w/o sending it actually. I followed Dmitry's
advice to create it as a IPM.Post and changed the message class
afterwards. After setting a bunch of other properties this worked to
far. But now I'm again at a point this workaround hurts. When I try to
modify controls on the form this fails because the attached
FormDescription still has the message class IPM.Post. Additionally,
when I open the form, the compose layout is shown. However it should be
the read layout. So, which additional properties do I need to set to
let this fully work. I played with CDO (which allows to set the Sent
flag) but some missing stuff in Redemption prevents me to convert this
CDO item back to a Redemption (I don't remember exactly what this was)
w/o a security warning.

By default messages do not have any customization. Where does
FormDescription come from? If you only modify the controls *after* the
mesage class is reset to IPM.Note and the message is reopened,
FormDescription cannot possibly remember that the message used to be
IPM.Post.

I found another way: Create it directly as IPM.Note.MyForm and unset
the MSGFLAG_UNSENT flag in PR_MESSAGE_FLAGS.

SaveToContainer as Sent Message

I am trying to read logged emails from another system and create new messages to place into the Journaling mailbox on Exchange 2003. The only issue I am having is getting the MSGFLAG_UNSENT removed from the PR_MESSAGE_FLAGS MAPI property even though I set it to 3 in the script. My Archive system will not read the messages from the Journal mailbox unless the message has the MSGFLAG_UNSENT removed.
