outlook 2007 plugin button to forward email(s) not working.. mailitem class?

Apr 15 2008 1:40 PM

I'm trying to develop a button in outlook 2007 that will basically let a user click on one or multiple mail items (exchange 2007) and click this button.. the email(s) then get forwarded to a specific address..

So far i have a loop that checks the selecteditem in the selection list.. and if its a mailitem.. it does:

mailitem.forward() and mailitem.send(), while specifying the TO portion...

This doesnt quite work.. it seems the email they click on gets emailed fine.. but its not really a forward.. its basically stripping the TO section out of the original and sending it as if it came from the original person in the from section.

I need true forward ability.. ie:  they click it then the button then the person on the other end has a FW:  subject and normal body with forwarded items.

Is there another command i should be using.. any thoughts?

Thanks
