Hi everybody!

Pretty much generic question :-) How do I do my own
multithreading in Outlook? Straight forward path has
failed (just as I suspected :-) If I create my own thread
(using SDK's _beginthreadex call) there are certain
operations that lead to disaster :-) For instance, when I
try to get Actions on a Mail item that I just created (in
the context of the same thread) Outlook throws "Unable to
install custom action" (or something similar to that) msg
box and hangs.
I tried (in three different attempts) to call
CoInitialize, CoInitializeEx(multithreaded) OleInitialize
in the beginning of my thread execution but neither one
seemed to be able to change anything.
So, HOW DO I DO multithreading in Outlook?

TIA,

Vladimir
