I have an existing mail message including headers, that I am feeding into the Message Object so I can manage the message and modify it as follows:

Dim Msg = CreateObject("MailBee.Message")
Msg.rawbody = MailMessage
Msg.ToAddr = "bob@bob.com"

This all works great, but when I view the rawbody after the above code, the headers of the original message have been modified (fine), but the 'Received' headers have been removed. Why is this? I need them keeping, how can I keep them in my message while the Message object modifies the message?

Setting ToAddr causes the message to be rebuilt. Since Received headers usually make no sense for modified messages, they are removed.

However, if you'd like to resend the received message without changes, you may use the SMTP.SendEx method as shown below:

Code:

SMTP.SendEx , "bob@bob.com"

The message will be resent to "bob@bob.com" without any changes (To field in the message itself will still contain original value, not bob@bob.com).

Another possible solution is to set the Message.MinimalRebuild property value to True, and then modify To: field using AddHeader method. When MinimalRebuild=True, MailBee interprets the message
only as a set of header lines plus body data.

The code below changes just To: header of the message (we assume msg already contains the message received from the server, imported from a file, etc):

Code:

msg.MinimalRebuild = True

msg.AddHeader "To", "bob@bob.com"

msg.RemoveHeader "CC"

...

msg.Send

Now, the message will be resent to bob@bob.com. Unlike SendEx approach, bob@bob.com will now appear in To: field.

Also, we remove CC to avoid double-sending to CC recipients. Removing BCC is not required since this field is not included into message headers anyway.
