SYMPTOMS
Messages that use a custom MAPI form server do not allow the user to select Forward, Reply, or Reply All from the shortcut menu in Microsoft Outlook. The form may support these actions, and the corresponding toolbar buttons may be available, but the shortcut menu items are either disabled or absent.



CAUSE
The configuration (.cfg) file for the MAPI form does not include the required entries to enable the actions on the shortcut menu.



RESOLUTION
Open the configuration file for the MAPI form in a text editor such as Microsoft Notepad, and add the following lines: [Extensions] Extensions1=1

[Extension.1] Type=30 NmidPropset={00020D0C-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} NmidInteger=1 Value=011112202



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
The number in the Value field acts as a mask to specify how to handle certain menu commands. Each position in the field maps to a different command; the positions and values are available as constants in the Exchform.h file as follow:

The possible values in each position are as follows:

In the sample entry in the &quot;Resolution&quot; section (where Value equals 011112202) the Open, Reply, Forward, and Reply All commands are enabled and will be passed to the DoVerb method. The Print, Save As, and Post Reply To Folder commands are disabled.
