Ive been busy today building a CMS demo and wanted to show updated content being pushed to a user and displayed in Microsoft Office Outlook 2003. To achieve this ive used Niobe which is a prototype project that that abstracts the VBA, COM and MAPI layers into a single managed object model and allows managed, smart client add-ins to be developed for Outlook.
The Outlook add-in retrieved the updated CMS information by accessing an RSS feed and then populated a mail folder that was created to store all subscriptions. Niobe included an RSS example but I needed to make some changes to display the feed info in the manner I wanted.
