Saving Outlook msg files using Redemption
Had a strange one the other day. Trying to save msg files using the Redemption library when using the html body property. If the html contatined a word starting with + and ending in -, e.g. +/- , then the text would be enconded in some format I dont recognise. Attempting to open the saved msg then gave the garbled text. I changed the text body using a regular expression to convert the + character to the correspoing unicode encode &# value (sorry dont have it to hand).

Error 80040605 calling new RDOSessionClass
This error has caught me more than once when setting up Redemption for the first time on a new server/workstation where Outlook has never been installed. Redemption needs (full?) access to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem which will probably not even exist if Outlook has never been run on the machine. You can create the key and the Profiles subkey manually and give the user creating the RDOSessionClass full access rights. That should get you past this error, but it may then fail trying to delete the temporary profile if you are using impersonation. I don't think Redemption supports impersonation, at least I could not get it to work.
