Outlook Plugin (C#)

Question

I am working on an application which captures the inbound and oubound e-mails for MS Outlook. My plugin seems to be working fine except for one case -- when I directly attach a file to it from Windows explorer (Go to the location of the file, right click it and do "Send To->Mail Recepient"). Whenever I try this the plugin does not seem to realize that it is a Mail Item for outlook.

Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks

Outlook doesn't raise the NewInspector event (and probably others) when it's invoked this way. See the MSDN article for details.

However, the Inspectors collection does contain the new inspector window. You may be able to set a timer that polls the Inspectors collection to detect when a new inspector a launched via the "Sent To" menu.
