Hi,

This could be a real simple question but I couldn't find the answer to
it. I am using Outlook 2000 on Windows 2000 OS with Exchange 5.5.

All I want to do is this: provide a button in the Outlook toolbar which
will forward all selected mail items to a specific id. I know how to do
everything except for finding the items that are selected.

Any ideas how to do this? I can iterate through all items in the current
folder. But I couldn't find any property or method in the Outlook object
model that gives me a way to determine whether an item in this
collection is Selected or not.

TIA.
 
Hi,

I found the Outlook object to do this. One has to access the Selection
collection of the Explorer object to get this done. Sorry to bother.

Thanks.
Amit.
 
Hi,

It might help if you told us WHY you want to do this. I
suspect you're not getting any answers because code of
this type is too likely to be abused.

Thanks Sue. I posted my 2nd one before seeing your reply. I am done with
this.

Andrew, I have already got the answer. The reason is a simple mechanism
for handling spams and other junk mail.

Thanks
