Hi Guys I've already posted this under the IMsgStore::Advise thread, but wasn' sure whether anyone would see it there. Is there anyway to force Outlook to refresh a message which is being rendered in the reading pane simply by sending notifications? Outlook itself appears to be capable of this. For instance in an email with hyperlinked images, if the message is open both in the preview pane and its own window, enabling the "show images" forces a refresh of both. Cheers Win
