Explorer.Selection[1].CurrentItem points to original MailItem on Reply/Forward

Question

I have a problem finding currently edited(!) MailItem on Reply/Forward to access replying mailItem's UserProperties.

Everything works more or less correctly when user replies in new message window using "Inspector".

But on in-line reply in reading pane everything falls apart.

ActiveExplorer().Selection[1] points to ORIGINAL MailItem instead of current item which user is currently editing.

How can I access actual (edited in reading pane) "current item" instead of just selected one?

Hello Alexey,

The ActiveInlineResponse property of the Explorer class returns an item object representing the active inline response item in the explorer reading pane. This property returns Null (Nothing in Visual Basic) if no inline response is visible in the Reading Pane.

Also you may find the InlineResponse event helpful which is fired when the user performs an action that causes an inline response to appear in the Reading Pane.
