Hello Ranjith,

I've tested catching the Reply event on several systems. First off, I commented out RemoveConnection and all manipulations with the original item.

I believe the description of the Response parameter of the Reply event is misleading because casting Response to Outlook.MailItem and changing MailItem.Body in the Reply event works as follows for me:
- the text of the original Item is changed in Outlook 2003 SP3 and 2007 SP2 (no other Outlook were tested)
- a reply to the changed item is created

So, probably, the best way would be to intercept the NewInspector event. Besides, I tested this in VBA so this isn't a case of an Add-in Express bug.
