Working with Email items...

[FRANDAZZO]

All -

I wanted to know if there is a way to link a response email from a receipent back to the sender. Meaning, I send and email and it is assigned a EntryId. When I receive the email back (i.e, the response RE the EntryId is changed because (1) the email is now in a new folder (e.g., the inbox folder) (2) when the email was sent the EntryId was from the "sent items folder". So is there some property I can access to associate the original email and the response email?

Thankx in advance!

There isn't any single property that links an incoming e-mail to a sent e-mail.

You may have noticed the info bar below the toolbar when a mail item is displayed in an Inspector window. It says "You replied on... Click to find all related messages". When clicked it opens the Advanced Find dialog with conditions pre-entered and runs the find.

You can do a similar thing in code, using the Restrict method (Items class) to return a filtered Items collection, rather than display the Find dialog.
