Read updated message body in Outlook 2003

Question

I have an application that uses the Redemption library. A user can open a meeting and add some notes to a cancellation. Prior to them editing it, the message body is already set with some default text. Is there a way to get the new updated message body after the message is open and before the message is sent? Using

safeItem.Body

where safeItem is a SafeAppointmentItem from Redemption doesn't seem to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update:

If I change the call to:

Set app = Outlook.Application
Set bodyText = app.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem.Body

it works but, I get a warning popup (which is unacceptable).

Answer 1

I've found the answer to this. Calling a

safeItem.save

will update the item.body.
