Regarding MailItem.UserProperties

Hi,

I am using Outlook 2003. I am developing an Add-in using Visual Studio
2005 (C#).

I have coded a method called "SendMail()" as followed:

public void SendMail()
{
MailItem newMI = (MailItem)

((Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application)applicationObject).CreateItem(OlItemType.olMailItem);
newMI.To = ".....@gmail.com";

newMI.Subject = "Test User Property";

newMI.UserProperties.Add("myUserProperty",
OlUserPropertyType.olText, true, OlUserPropertyType.olText);
newMI.UserProperties["myUserProperty"].Value = "My
First User Property";
newMI.Save();
newMI.Send();
}

In the above method, I have created a userproperty called
"myUserProperty" and I am sending the mail to my gmail ID. When I log
into gmail and open this mail, I am unable to see my userProperty.

What modifications do I need to make to the code so that I see
myUserProperty in my gmail?

Regards,
Bharathi

For an Outlook UserProperty to show up in an item receive it using Outlook.
Gmail has no idea of the Outlook object model. For items sent outside of
Outlook about all you can do is create an x-header for your property and
that requires using CDO 1.21 or Extended MAPI (neither of which is supported
for .NET code) or an Extended MAPI COM wrapper such as Redemption
(www.dimastr.com/redemption).
