Hi Group.

I have a wish from my users that a msg file that I create as part of a
Outlook 2000 add-in should have the Author, Title and so on specified.
I have found the DSOfile sample but even that sample will not set the
extended file properties on an OL msg file.
Is that another way to do it, please ?


best regards

Hi Kasper,
Why don't you just use MailToFile? It archives email as msg file and
set the normal file properties and creates some customproperties.

Hi Frank and thanks for the suggestion, however the Outlook Add-in
that I work on is an business specific solution and the location where
the msg files should be stored depends on parameters from another
application. So I just have to get hold of a modified DSOFile as it
seems that the MS publiced version contains a bug. It will not allow
any extended property to be specified UNLESS one of the other extended
properties has been defined.

The modified DSOfile.dll is available at http://jeolmeun.blogspot.com/

So far I have not seen any side effects.
