MAPI question about extra info in email and smtp address

[Aamir]

Hello,

I am trying to get the PR_EMAIL_ADDRESS_W and PR_SMTP_ADDRESS_W
properties from a MAPI table. I expect to see text of the usual form:

(e-mail address removed)

but instead I sometimes see things like:
* John
* (e-mail address removed) (John Doe)

Any ideas on why? I don't understand why this extraneous information
would appear in these fields.

Thanks so much for any help!

Which table? See where and how? What are the erelevant snippets of your
code?

Sorry for the delay - here is the basic gist of what I have. I looked
online and found a few caveats on using cached exchange mode - any
insights you have about that and this in general are very
appreciated.

Thanks so much to any and all with input.

private List<String> GetRecipientAddresses(RDOMail rdoMail){
MAPITable mapiTable = rdoMail.Recipients.MAPITable;
mapiTable.Columns = { PR_ADDRTYPE_W, PR_DISPLAY_NAME_W,
PR_SMTP_ADDRESS_W, PR_EMAIL_ADDRESS_W, PR_RECIPIENT_TYPE,
PR_DISPLAY_TYPE };
mapiTable.GoToFirst();

List<String> addresses = new List<String>();

Object[] rows;
while((rows = (Object[])mapiTable.GetRows(32)) != null) {
foreach(Object[] row in rows) {
// the following line just sets up a dictionary for key ->
value mappings
IPropertyMap propertyMap = new
KeyValueRowSource(desiredPropertyKeys, row);
String address = GetAddress(propertyMap);
addresses.Add(address);
}
}

return addresses;
}

private static String GetAddress(IPropertyMap recipient) {
String address;

String psAddressType = recipient.GetProperty<String>(PR_ADDRTYPE_W)
as String;
switch(psAddressType) {
case "EX":
address = recipient.GetProperty<String>(PR_SMTP_ADDRESS_W) as
String;
break;

case "SMTP":
address = recipient.GetProperty<String>(PR_EMAIL_ADDRESS_W)
as String;
break;
}

return address;
}

Oh, and to be clear, I'm pretty sure the SMTP case in GetAddress is
the one that produces the extra data instead of a pure address.

Are you sure you defined PR_EMAIL_ADDRESS_W and PR_SMTP_ADDRESS_W correctly?
What do yo usee in OutlookSpy (click IMessage, go to the GetRecipientTable
tab)?

Hi Dmitry,

Unfortunately I am hearing about this from a user, so I don't have an
email to check in OutlookSpy.

PR_EMAIL_ADDRESS_W = 0x3003001F
PR_SMTP_ADDRESS_W = 0x39FE001F

The tags look fine to me.
Can you ask your user to install OutlookSpy? Or at least save the message as
an MSG file and zip it?
