Custom headers gets removed while dowloading DRAFT using MapiMessage.SetMessageFlags(MapiMessageFlags.MSGFLAG_UNSENT)

When I create an email then save as DRAFT status using MapiMessage.SetMessageFlags(MapiMessageFlags.MSGFLAG_UNSENT) and then save this email to file as a .MSG file, reopen and send, I can see the email in my inbox. But the custom headers that I added before saving the draft are somehow getting removed. Is there a way to retain the cutom headers in the draft?

Hi Margarita, Please fin the code snippet as follows. Using in a Java controller class:

MapiMessage draftFromFile = MapiMessage.fromStream(ABCController.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(“ABC.msg”));
draftFromFile.setSubject(subject);
draftFromFile.setBodyContent(“Test Email”, BodyContentType.Html);
draftFromFile.getHeaders().add(“X-Custom-Header-Task-Id”, “123456654321”);
draftFromFile.setMessageFlags( MapiMessageFlags.MSGFLAG_UNSENT);
draftFromFile.save(output);
headers.set(CONTENT_DISPOSITION, ATTACHMENT_FILENAME + fileName);

Hi @ranakomal90 ,
We check your case and found that it is not an Aspose.Email problem. When you save a message on disk the headers saved in property PR_TRANSPORT_MESSAGE_HEADERS. Then when you reopen it, the custom header is still present in headers of loaded message. But if you send a message, the mail server can change this property and Aspose.Email cannot influence this in any way.
