I need to add a custom header to an email using the System.Net.Mail.MailMessage class and then using the Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.EmailMessage class I need to read that value.
What I'm trying to do exactly is bounce processing for emails we send out. I am generating a new Guid value and adding it to the headers right before it's sent. I'm storing that value in a database and need to match it up when a separate process scans the inbox for processing. I all of that working except one part - I can't get the message ID from the header.
I know messages have a Message-ID header (which is automatically added) and I can access that but what I'm having difficulty with is getting that value when it's sent in the first place. Is that even possible? If so I'll use that instead of my own value.
I can get the email address and the other relevant information but the system I've written uses the message ID I was assigning as the foreign key used in joins in the database.
Any guidance on this would be appreciated. I doubt I'm the only person whose ever tried doing this.
Sorry everyone, the email I was testing with didn't have the header in it, that's why it couldn't be found.
I created a new email with it added and I could access it through the InternetMessageHeaders property of the EmailMessage object.

I'm sending mass messages with custom messages per subscriber, when I get the bounce-back I use my own cocktail to read the STMP emails.
What I haven't figure it out is how to add a unique ID for each email that is sent out, so in my bounce-back I can read the email's code and look for that particular ID, currently when I read the bounce I look for the recipient email compare to what I have based on creation date plus the email...
Is not efficient and 20 emails out of 1K or so gets lost cuz I can't find in bounce the headers due to some servers custom messages although it does return headers but I have nothing to compared with...
So is there a way to add this UUID in Swift services? I have seen that Swift is adding its own UUID but I haven't been able to retrieve it, when the message is sent I want that UUID so that I can save it and then latter I can read it from the bounces...
So, if I can't retrieve it, can I add my own?
I wanna have a relation email and UUID that was use when that message was sent.
$message_out = (new \Swift_Message($out->subject))
->setFrom($out->from_email, $out->from_name)
->setTo($out->email)
->setBody($content, 'text/html')
->setReplyTo('noreply#foo.com', 'No reply');
$message_out->send($mensaje_mail, $errors_sent);
Is this a header I can add the retrieve it in the bounce-back messages?
Thank you.
I'm using CloudKit to manage a list of messages (record type Message with a field title and body). All messages are public and I want to maintain which Message the user has read using the mobile app.
The app can have thousands of users and messages. And I use swift3.
I've think of different way to do it but they seems quite poor in term of performance:
add a field 'readers' to Message which is a list of string corresponding of user Id. The problem is that if I want to add a new user ID I must load all the list. This is problematic for a mobile app in case of a lot of users have read the message. Can I lazy fetch a list field and add a value to it without downloading all the list (like in classic Orm)?
add another record type 'Reader' which has two fields: a user ID and a message ID. I can't find a way to join Message and Reader in a predicate to download only Message that the user hasn't read. Is that possible?
As suggested by Matthew: add a record type ReadArticle in the private database that stores only a CKReference to a message. The problem is that we need to download all message ID before sending them in a NOT predicate.
I don't know how to solve this problem with a database like CloudKit.
Any advice ?
Readers field
This approach is not ideal for the exact reasons you pointed out, and it additionally is unsafe as a String could theoretically contain anything.
Reader object
Even if there was a way to get this to work you'd be storing user ids in the public database. That's probably not a privacy-conscious thing to do.
ReadMessage Record in Private Database
Suppose you had a Record Type called ReadArticle. This object would contain exactly one field, a CKReference to a Message record.
Then, when someone reads a Message, you take the recordId of that Message, create a CKReference from it, and place that reference in the "message" field of a new CKRecord object of type ReadMessage. Then, you save it to the user's private database. Because it's a CKReference, it won't actually take up hardly any space in iCloud because it's just a pointer, and because you'd use the user's private database there's no need to explicitly identify the user.
Then when you want all unread messages, fetch the ReadMessage record, and create a NOT predicate to receive all Message records where the record id is not any of the read ones. CloudKit definitely supports NOT predicates, but if it happens to not support NOT predicates specifying record ids, than you could use some other unique field on message instead.
Using Dynamics CRM I would like to add SendOn and ReceivedOn fields to the Email Activity form.
I understand that Actual Start and Actual End display these values but I can't seem to find any MSDN or authoritative source for confirmation.
Also - I cannot rename the existing fields to SendOn/ReceivedOn because the meaning would be different depending on whether the email direction is Outgoing or Incoming.
Is there somewhere to handle this requirement OOB?
I'm not sure that there is OOB solution for this situation. You can try with JScript or plugin.
If you prefer JavaScript, you can add JS webresource with method where you will check is mail outgoing or incoming. Based on that set display names for ActualStart and ActualEnd fields (sendOn, receivedOn). Ofcourse, if you find authoritative source for this (I didn't :) ) This method will be called on email form load.
I would try with adding two DateTime fields (sendOn, receivedOn), and one plugin for email entity who will be executed on email status change. Depends on new status, appropriate DateTime field is updated
Hope it helps
I have a database reader channel set up that actually reads the database at 10 second intervals and sends to a web service just fine. We get a valid response from the wsdl.
However, I need to update the database record so that it is flagged as having been processed. in this case we are simple changing a field from 100 to 101. However, when I try to update the field OR send an email containing ANY data that has been stored into mapper variables I get nothing. The database does not update. Emails send blanks for fields.
When I go into the channel messages for processed messages I can see good data in the Raw Message and Encoded Message tabs. There are no values in the Mappings tab.
Any suggestions on troubleshooting?
The Run-on-Update statement does not have access to the channel map, as it runs after message Encoding (and even the post-processor, I believe).
It DOES have access to the globalChannelMap and the responseMap. Put your new ID in the globalChannelMap and you should be good to go.
If you also want to send an email, would recommend you instead add an SMTP Writer destination (e.g., SMTP writer), which will have access to any channelMap variables created in a 'Destination 1'; as well as the globalChannelMap.
When a new lead comes in, I want to use a before trigger and a Visualforce email template that contains lead field values to send an email using the SingleEmailMessage class. The email is being generated, but all of the lead fields are null even though (known via System.Debug) they do have values going into the call.
Since I'm passing the still-unsaved lead Id via the mail.setWhatId(lead.Id) method, I'm beginning to think that the mail class is using the Id value and trying to do a database look-up rather than as a reference to the still unsaved lead in memory.
Does anyone know if that's the case? My class works flawlessly when the lead already exists.
If it is the case that the Apex mail class does a DB read, any pattern suggestions for the case where one needs to send and email and update a lead field value before the lead is saved? I can't use the Workflow email notification because the email is being addressed to customers, and there's some additional Apex code that sorts out what address to fetch from existing Account records based on some Lead fields--hence I think the need for using VF email templates in the first place.
setWhatId (and pretty much any method that takes an ID value as an argument) definitely does expect the row to be persisted already. To get around this, you should be able to just do your field update in the before trigger, and add an after trigger to send the email.
