.....  And this is where you hit the proprietary wall.  TTBOMK there isn't a 
published API to do this sort of thing in Outlook.

There is almost certainly a secret API that only Microsoft know about; but if 
and when that hidden API gets leaked, you can bet it will be used for 
malicious purposes by someone.

You would do much better in the long run to look at replacing Outlook with 
some Open Source alternative -- and sooner, rather than later.
