SYMPTOMS
When you save a message using the Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows
MAPISaveMail function, the Originator parameter of the message is set to
the Mail user who logged on.
CAUSE
The Microsoft Visual Basic MAPIMessage structure does not contain an
Originator field like the C equivalent message structure does. Therefore,
the actual originator cannot be saved--instead, the logon user information
is saved in this field (when it is read by MAPIReadMail). The C
MAPISaveMail function correctly preserves the originator field because it
is in the C MAPIMessage structure.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in versions 3.0 and 3.0b of
Microsoft Mail for Windows. This problem was corrected in version 3.2 of
Microsoft Mail for Windows.
