Redemption isn't used here at all.

Redemption is free for personal use only. If you distribute it internally in your organization, it must be purchased. See http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/download.htm for more info.

Then you must be referring to the Redemption object, correct? If yes, then would distribution of such object to department inside a company, be considered as non-commercial ?

There's no code here that would trigger the security prompt. It's all native Outlook code with all objects being derived from the intrinsic Application object.

Thank you for your help. However, the need to click Yes due to the security patch is making this approach not very desirable.

See also http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/getsenderaddy.htm for different methods to get the sender email address.

I'm not sure how you'd code it. Mine got a blank for the SenderEmailAddress property.

You can be sneaky and create a dummy email and check the SenderEmailAddress Property. That will give you the internet address you need.

The thing is, in this enterprised environment, the security engineer is demanding no Unsigned macro. So I must make it a COM add-in in order to pass the security requirement. But with hard coded user email address, it no longer make sense to do COM add-in, unless it can be fully variable supported.

Well, the "CurrentUser" property seems to give the Full Name of the account. However, if "Lee, Johnny" is the full name, the email address can be "JxLee@MyCompany.com", where the "x" is the middle Name and is not available in the full name shown by that property. This is exactly happened to me due to possible duplicate account name. So the best way is to get the email box that was originally configured to this account. But I don't know if Outlook 2003 is giving this option or not.

If your email address is unlikely to change, hardcoding might not be that bad. Otherwise you can use

Application.GetNameSpace("MAPI").CurrentUser

and parse it to put together your email address.
