' this is a very loose modification of Randy Byrne's CBITEMS OUTLOOK
' COM Add-In in order to trap inspector events along side explorer events
' and watch the sequence of the events. The debugger works with it.

'... yes you can use this to add CommandBar items. But note that I have
' changed some variable names and added new classes with longer names
' so that it cuold be debugged and make some sense for reading to me.
' You are welcome to correct anything you want and tell me.
' the comments with '[2002] remove functionality available only in
' OUTLOOK 2002 and in OUTLOOK 2000. I appreciate everyone's efforts to
' decode how to automate Outlook, so if you have comments and changes
' I would very much appreciate it, and I think others will too.
