Modify Word.EmailOptions without instantiating MS Word

I know how to set Word.EmailOptions via the Word object model in VBA and VSTO. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/word.emailoptions

Is it possible to use the OpenXML SDK to set them? Does anyone know where they are stored? I'd like to modify them without instantiating MS Word.

-- Edit --

Specifically:

emailOptions.ComposeStyle.Font.Name
emailOptions.ComposeStyle.Font.Size
emailOptions.ComposeStyle.Font.Color

and the same for:

emailOptions.ReplyStyle
Solution

  • These options are stored in ComposeFontComplex and ComposeFontSimple registry values in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\MailSettings

    The format is not documented, of course.
