This is not good news for us. We tried to use a COM Add-in and could not offer the same functionality with the available interfaces. I suspect you will be leaving a number of vendors in the same position as us.

Chris, I look forward to working with EMC to ensure interface parity with ECEs and Outlook 2010. Thanks for your feedback.

Hi Randy,

I have a request for the outlook team. How many e-mails are sent in to world where the sender forgot to send the attachment and sends a follow on message with the attachment and a "whoops...forgot attachment!" message body! I've lost count of the amount of times I've done it and others. We are not alone :)

A simple solution: When sending an e-mail, scan the body content for the word attachment(s) and check if an attachment is 'attached'. In the case of no attachment being attached, show a simple dialogue box with the message 'your mail mentions an attachment but you have no attachment on this e-mail. Do you wish to attach one" yes/no (or something to get the message across).

Think of the millions of users who would save embarrassing follow on mails and the amount on duplicate mails that would be eliminated.

Daniel (dan.mcsweeney@gmail.com) in case the people from the nobel prize wanna talk :)
