By calling the appropriate method of IMimeMessage interface.

It's extracted from the instance of the IMimeMessage, which can live
anywhere (new message is stored in the memory until it's not saved in the
storage).

GN> If yes, how Fidolook know witch message to extract?

Any message has its own id, and the message list knows all of the message
ids it's displaying.

Could you give me some hint, some piece of code? I know Fidolook is not Open
Source but I googled for IMimeMessage and found nothing.

Thank you very much, but I haven't found anything about IMimeMessage. There
is only library for reading DBX files. Maybe I don't understand
something....

Sure, but you won't be able to create such an object inside your program,
cause it requires the internal IMimeStorage class factory to be redefined by
your own ;) I.e. you should implement your own Fidolook to get access to it.

DBX SDK allows to access DBX files from the outside.

I can create IMimeStorage and IMimeMessage objects but I don't know how to
initialize them.

You don't have to initialize them, but you should have an initialized OE
context (including anonymous static variables inside MSOE.DLL) to use all
those classes, or you will get access violations. So it's sad but true: you
cannot use these classes outside OE. It does not create a problem for
Fidolook though.

And this is why I'd like to know how Fidolook works. I can do some things in
OE context but I don't know how to use those classes.

A lot of people whant to know how OE works. That was exactly the reason
why FL didn't went open source one day.

OK, I understand. Thanks for your help.
