HOWTO: Set the Default Reply-Recipient with CDO Using C++ (195842)

MORE INFORMATION

• CdoPR_REPLY_RECIPIENT_ENTRIES
• CdoPR_REPLY_RECIPIENT_NAMES

• Retrieve the first message in the Inbox
• Create a new message in the Outbox
• Set the default reply-recipient of the newly-created message to the sender of the first message you retrieved from the Inbox

Sample Code

   #import "cdo.dll" no_namespace

   #include <MAPIUTIL.H>

        // SessionPtr pSession("MAPI.Session");
        // or Create a MAPI.Session pointer with CDO (1.2, 1.21)
        //_SessionPtr pSession("MAPI.Session");
