Hi All -

I'm adding IPM.Post items (well, a message class descended from Post)
to a folder via an Add-In. These items come from an external source
and can be threaded into conversations.

I can group the conversations OK, but not show one item as a reply to
another. How do I do that?

Thanks -
 
PostItem.ConversationIndex and .ConversationTopic are used to determine
whether various Post items are to be grouped in a conversation and where
they sit in that conversation. Both are read-only for the Outlook object
model. Those properties are read/write if you use CDO 1.21 code or Extended
MAPI or Redemption (www.dimastr.com/redemption). CDO also has a
Session.CreateConversationIndex method that can be used to generate a
ConversationIndex value for a thread.

Thanks Ken. I eventually got it worked out and the results are
actually quite nice.
