Description

PROPATTR_MANDATORY

0x00000001

If this flag is set for a property, that property MUST NOT be deleted from the .msg file (irrespective of which storage it is contained in) and implementations MUST return an error if any attempt is made to do so. This flag is set in circumstances where the implementation depends on that property always being present in the .msg file once it is written there.

PROPATTR_READABLE

0x00000002

If this flag is not set on a property, that property MUST NOT be read from the .msg file and implementations MUST return an error if any attempt is made to read it. This flag is set on all properties unless there is an implementation-specific reason to prevent a property from being read from the .msg file.

PROPATTR_WRITABLE

0x00000004

If this flag is not set on a property, that property MUST NOT be modified or deleted and implementations MUST return an error if any attempt is made to do so. This flag is set in circumstances where the implementation depends on the properties being writable.

Value (8 bytes): This field contains a Fixed Length Property Value structure, as specified in section 2.4.2.1.1.
