How to access SMTP headers of a message using CDO (1.x)

MORE INFORMATION

This can be done by using the fields collection of the message and displaying the value of the CdoPR_TRANSPORT_MESSAGE_HEADERS property, which contains the SMTP header information for a Internet mail message. This sample assumes that you already have a message received from the Internet titled "Test Internet message" in your Inbox.

Copy and paste the following code into a Visual Basic project which references the Collaboration Data Objects (1.2, 1.21) library:

    Private Sub Form_Load()

      Dim oSession As MAPI.Session
      Dim oFolder As Folder
      Dim oMsgColl As Messages
      Dim oMessage As Message

      ' Logon to the MAPI session
      Set oSession = New MAPI.Session
      oSession.Logon

      ' Get the Inbox folder and its message collection.
      Set oFolder = oSession.GetDefaultFolder(CdoDefaultFolderInbox)
      Set oMsgColl = oFolder.Messages

      ' Search through the messages in the Inbox for the Internet
      ' message.  Then use the CdoPR_TRANSPORT_MESSAGE_HEADERS
      ' (&H7D001E) property tag to retrieve the Internet header.
      ' If the property doesn't exist(Not a Internet message) you will
      ' receive a MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND error.

      For Each oMessage In oMsgColl
         If oMessage.Subject = "Test Internet message" Then
              MsgBox oMessage.Fields(&H7D001E) 'Display the header
         End If
      Next

      ' Logoff and cleanup
      oSession.Logoff
      Set oSession = Nothing
      Set oMessage = Nothing
      Set oMsgColl = Nothing
      Set oFolder = Nothing

    End Sub
