Mark an Outlook message as "saved"

Question

I have developed an Outlook Add-in to allow the user to save messages as .msg files to disk.  This works fine.

However I would like to mark the message in some way to say that the message has been saved to disk.  This is to prevent the user from saving the message again.

I have tried assigning a category, but the trouble is that any replies to the email are also categorised with the same category, even though the reply has not been saved.

Can anyone suggest a way that might do this.

Many thanks

Try to set the MailItem.FlagRequest property.
