How to develop an Outlook/Mail Plugin?
I want to develop a plug-in that does this:
A button, when clicked, opens the new mail window but has a certain phrase in the subject line, for e.g. when I click a button called 'PROJ123', the new mail window opens with the subject line "[PROJ123]"
Other functionality it would need:
- Ability to Create/Update/Delete Buttons as needed
What is the best way to do this?
Any and all tips, references, online resources, examples are greatly appreciated!

To create a plugin for Outlook, I'd read these resources:
- CodeProject: How to Create Plugin for Outlook
- MSDN: How to Create Plugin in .NET
- Using VSTO for .NET to create plugins in Outlook
This doesn't directly answer your question, but I found an add-in that may be useful to you:
