MailItem ReceivedTime property problem with Undeliverable messages

Hi,

An app I'm developing needs to iterate through an Outlook folder checking for, among other things,  'Undeliverable' messages.

I've noticed that VBA throws an error if you try to retrieve the ReceivedTime property of an Undeliverable message.  Could anyone explain exactly why this is?  I can understand that these messages are slightly different from a standard email but they  still arrive at a specific time and this field can be displayed in Outlook.

Retreiving this property would prove a major advantage for my app.  Any suggestions/comments will be welcomed.

Cheers,

Many thanks Anthony   - do these delivery notifications have a specific object type?

I've closed a couple of my old q's but the other's I haven't  received adequate or any replies to.  As I still don't know the answer myself what should I do? (I'm sure it's in the FAQs somewhere but couldn't find it)

Thanks again

They should, but I don't recall, this was something I did over three years ago.

To be honest with you the chances that someone will followup with a question that is nearly three months old is exactly 0.  After 21 days of inactivity questions are considered technically abandoned.
