When I apply oMailItemNew = oMailItem.Copy and then
oMailItemNew.Display, oMailItemNew is displayed in the
edit format. How to display it in the read format?
Thanks.
 
It sounds like the message you are copying is a new message, hence a copy of
that message will be new as well. If the original is a saved message, then
the copy will be a saved message in "read format".

If you need to copy a saved message and display it as editable, there is no
built-in Outlook function to do that. You would have to use the Office
Object Library to execute the "Edit Message" entry (button ID = 5604) in the
Edit menu of the copied message to make it editable.
 
Eric,

I first saved this copy and then re-created an object
referencing to this saved copy. Now it's displayed in
the read format. I haven't tried on a unread mail item
yet. Thanks.
