IMAPISupport::ExpandRecips

Applies to: Office 2010 | Outlook 2010 | Visual Studio

Completes a message's recipient list, expanding particular distribution lists.

HRESULT ExpandRecips(
  LPMESSAGE lpMessage,
  ULONG FAR * lpulFlags
);

Parameters

  • lpMessage
    [in] A pointer to the message that has the recipient list to be processed.

  • lpulFlags
    [out] A pointer to a bitmask of flags that controls the type of processing that occurs. The following flags can be set:

    • NEEDS_PREPROCESSING
      The message needs to be preprocessed before it is sent.

    • NEEDS_SPOOLER
      The MAPI spooler (rather than the transport provider to which the caller is tightly coupled) must send the message.

Return Value

  • S_OK
    The message's recipient list was successfully processed.

Remarks

The IMAPISupport::ExpandRecips method is implemented for message store provider support objects. Message store providers call ExpandRecips to prompt MAPI to perform the following tasks:

  • Expand certain personal distribution lists to their component recipients.

  • Replace all display names that have been changed with the original names.

  • Mark any duplicate entries.

  • Resolve all one-off addresses.

  • Check whether the message needs preprocessing and, if it does, set the flag pointed to by lpulFlags to NEEDS_PREPROCESSING.

ExpandRecips expands any distribution lists that have the messaging address type of MAPIPDL.

Notes to Callers

Always call ExpandRecips as part of your message processing. Make a call to ExpandRecips one of the first calls in your IMessage::SubmitMessage method implementation.
