Trolling the forums, I see examples of accessing SMTP message headers using a MAPI namespace....for example:

MAPI.HrGetOneProp(unk, MAPI.PR_SENDER_EMAIL_ADDRESS, out pPropValue);
MAPI.SPropValue propValue = (MAPI.SPropValue)Marshal.PtrToStructure
(pPropValue, typeof(MAPI.SPropValue));

...etc. How do I find and access that namespace? Do I need to add something to my prject? Do I need ADX Premium?

I am using VS 2005 c# and need to get at the actual email headers in a mailitem.

Hi Allen.

Please use the code below:

private class MAPI
{
public const uint PR_TRANSPORT_MESSAGE_HEADERS = 0x7D001E;
public const uint PR_BODY = 0x1000001E;
public const uint PR_BODY_HTML = 0x1013001E;
public const uint PR_HTML = 0x10130102;

public struct SPropValue
{
public uint ulPropTag;
public uint dwAlignPad;
public long Value;
}

[DllImport("MAPI32.DLL", CharSet=CharSet.Ansi, EntryPoint="HrGetOneProp@12")]
public static extern void HrGetOneProp(IntPtr pmp, uint ulPropTag, out IntPtr ppProp);

[DllImport("MAPI32.DLL", CharSet=CharSet.Ansi, EntryPoint="MAPIFreeBuffer@4")]
public static extern void MAPIFreeBuffer(IntPtr lpBuffer);
}

private void btnShowIH_Click(object sender)
{
object mapiObject = null;
Outlook._Explorer explorer = OutlookHost().ActiveExplorer();
if (explorer == null) return;
Outlook.Selection selObject = explorer.Selection;
if (selObject == null) return;
object item = selObject.Item(1);
if (item is Outlook._MailItem)
{
mapiObject = (item as Outlook._MailItem).MAPIOBJECT;
}
else if (item is Outlook._RemoteItem)
{
mapiObject = (item as Outlook._RemoteItem).MAPIOBJECT;
}
if (mapiObject != null)
{
string iheader = String.Empty;
IntPtr pPropValue = IntPtr.Zero;
IntPtr unk = IntPtr.Zero;
try
{
IntPtr unkObj = Marshal.GetIUnknownForObject(mapiObject);
Guid iMapiProp = new Guid("00020303-0000-0000-C000-000000000046");
Marshal.QueryInterface(unkObj, ref iMapiProp, out unk);
Marshal.Release(unkObj);
if (unk != IntPtr.Zero)
{
MAPI.HrGetOneProp(unk, MAPI.PR_TRANSPORT_MESSAGE_HEADERS, out pPropValue);
MAPI.SPropValue propValue = (MAPI.SPropValue)Marshal.PtrToStructure(pPropValue, typeof(MAPI.SPropValue));
propValue.Value &= 0xFFFFFFFF;
iheader = Marshal.PtrToStringAnsi(new IntPtr(propValue.Value));
}
}
catch
{
}
if (pPropValue != IntPtr.Zero)
MAPI.MAPIFreeBuffer(pPropValue);
if (unk != IntPtr.Zero)
Marshal.Release(unk);
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(mapiObject);
if (iheader != String.Empty)
{
ContentForm ihForm = new ContentForm();
ihForm.Text = "Internet Header";
ihForm.HeaderText.AppendText(iheader);
switch(ihForm.ShowDialog())
{
case DialogResult.OK:
item.GetType().InvokeMember("Display", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, item, new object[]{false});
break;
case DialogResult.Yes:
item.GetType().InvokeMember("Delete", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, item, null);
break;
}
ihForm.Dispose();
}
}
if (item != null) Marshal.ReleaseComObject(item);
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(selObject);
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(explorer);
}
