Determine is Outlook.MailItem is created from OFT file

I'm trying to have logic that works differently when a user opens an OFT file than when they open a MSG file. I can't seem to find a way to determine filetype that created the MailItem (or inspectors).

Is there any way to determine this?

Thanks,
Jeremy

Hello Jeremy,

I suppose this cannot be solved in the generic case: I don't see anything in properties of a mailitem created via Application.CreateItemFromTemplate("C:\Users\{user profile}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\MyTestOFT.oft"). Can you add something to the OFT so that your code could recognize it?

Andrei,

Thanks for the reply, sorry for the delay in response. We will not have control over these OFTs so we'll have to come up with a different approach.

Thanks again,
Jeremy
