Outlook Client Extensions

SMHS have developed a prototype Outlook custom form that can send and receive the MMHS extension header fields in accordance with the draft 02 of the Registration of Military Message Handling System (MMHS) header fields for use in Internet Mail.

The MMHS custom form has been developed using the in-built development features of Microsoft Outlook. The VBScripting makes use of the PropertyAccessor method which is only available in later versions of Outlook. Therefore this custom form will only work with Outlook 2007 or later.

In addition to the MMHS custom form, two additional extensions are also provided:

  • a macro that can be used from the Ribbon to create a new MMHS message for submission
  • a rules and alerts action to recognize that a received message is an MMHS message and associate the custom form with the message (so that the MMHS fields will be displayed)
