Applies to: Office 2010 | Outlook 2010 | Visual Studio

Contains a value that correlates a Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF) attachment with a message.

Associated properties:

PR_TNEF_CORRELATION_KEY

Identifier:

0x007F

Data type:

PT_BINARY

Area:

MAPI envelope

Remarks

It is recommended that TNEF attachment sub-objects expose this property. This property determines whether or not an inbound TNEF file belongs to the message it is attached to. It is used primarily by transport providers and gateways.

On an outbound message, the transport provider should compute a binary value unique to that message, or use an existing value that satisfies the uniqueness requirement, such as a message identifier. The transport provider should store this value in this property and then call the ITnef::AddProps method to encapsulate it. The same value should also be stored in the transport envelope in a place defined by the provider, such as the message header.

On an inbound message, the transport provider should call the ITnef::ExtractProps method to decapsulate the TNEF attachment and then compare this property with the value stored in the transport envelope. If the values match, TNEF should be processed normally, that is, all the properties extracted from the TNEF attachment should be used. If the values do not match, all the properties from the TNEF attachment should be ignored. If this property is not set, the TNEF file should be considered to belong to this message, and the other properties extracted from it should be used.
