SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You create a Microsoft Component Object Model (COM) add-in or a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) script that receives Microsoft Office Outlook events. You right-click a file in Microsoft Windows, click Send To, and then click Mail Recipient. In this scenario, when the e-mail message is created, the COM add-in or VBA script does not receive Outlook events.
CAUSE
This issue occurs because the Mail Recipient menu option starts a component that uses Simple MAPI. Simple MAPI is designed to work with many e-mail clients. Therefore, it does not send Outlook-specific events.
WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, use one of the following methods. Use the method that fits your situation the best.
You can remove the Mail Recipient option from the Send To shortcut menu. To do this, follow these steps:
- Start Windows Explorer.
- Locate the following folder:
Drive\Documents and Settings\UserName\SendTo - Right-click the Mail Recipient.MAPIMAIL file, and then click Delete.
You can create a custom DLL that handles the Mail Recipient menu option.
Note By default, the Sendmail.dll file handles the Mail Recipient menu option.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
