C# How to get the send of behalf email address in outlook add-in

Question

I'm trying to get the sender email address from email that is send using another email address. The sender as shows in outlook is ditribution-lists@domain.com on behalf of User Name [user.name@domain.com]. The MAPI object has a method SentOnBehalfOfName that returns "User Name" but not the email address. Does anyone know how to receive user.name@domain.com field?

        {
            Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.PropertyAccessor oPA;
            string propName = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x0065001F";
            oPA = mapiObject.PropertyAccessor;
            string email = oPA.GetProperty(propName).ToString();
            return email;
        }
    }
}

Do you have http://www.dimastr.com/outspy/ ? It is a useful tool for drilling down into MAPI objects in outlook.

Also, if you use http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/ you can get at a SentOnBehalfOfEmailAddress property on the IRDOMail object.

If you are using outlook 2007 you have the MailItem.PropertyAccessor and you can get the PR_SENDER_EMAIL_ADDRESS mapi property.
