Okay, so in the message recieved event it returns the origin of the message sent. Is there a way to get the email of this origin?

code:

---

for(var enumerator = new Enumerator(pChatWnd.Contacts) ; !enumerator.atEnd(); enumerator.moveNext()){
    var Contact = enumerator.item();
    Debug.Trace('Contact.Email :'+Contact.Email);
}

---

Well thats not really accomplishing what I am trying to do. What I want to do is return who sent the email, not who is in the conversation.

Can anyone help with this?

It does exactly what you want. When it receives an origin, it looks for the people in the chat window, and finds out the email address. Saves iterating through all the Contacts.

Your going to have to change pChatWnd to whatever the ChatWnd object is called in the function.

---

code:

---

for(var enumerator = new Enumerator(pChatWnd.Contacts) ; !enumerator.atEnd(); enumerator.moveNext()){
    var Cont = enumerator.item();
    if (Cont.Name === Origin){
    var Contact = Cont;
    }
}
Debug.Trace('The email of "+Origin+" is "+Contact.Email)//and you can use Contact throughout the rest of the function too

But, it does not return my email. I need to see if it was I who sent the email, and they cant trick it by changing their name to mine.

I use this, but it has some problems with MSGPlus not knowing the most recent names for alot of contacts.... any fix?

its like its caching them...

I also have to add that there is a great flaw in the origin variable that I came across the other day.  If you are using First and Last names to display your contacts (I think this will also happen with customized nicknames through WLM) origin will be the first and last name rather than the display name and you cannot compare this to the likes of Contact.Name as this uses their display name.  Maybe someone knows how to get past this problem, it would help a lot if you could shed some light as this could become quite a problem though I also understand that the messenger protocol probably only sends the information from the origin variable and nothing else to associate it with the contact.

Here's my two cents:

First off you need to compare the origin so that you don't get your own email since whenever you send a message you get a "message received" event with yourself as origin.

Secondly the code comparing Contact.name will only work if you don't have Nickname for that person. Since Contact.Name is what they use as name and Origin might be what you use as their nickname.

Thirdly this instead of getting the contacts from the chatwindow, gets the contacts from your contact list. Might be a little longer but it'll work when  you have more than one person in the chat window.

function GetContactEmail(Name) {
var Result = "";
var Contacts = Messenger.MyContacts;
    var e = new Enumerator(Contacts);
    for (;!e.atEnd();e.moveNext()) {
        var Contact = e.item();
        if(Contact.Name == Name) {
        Result = Contact.Email;
                }
    }
    return Result;
}

Just an idea

Have fun!
