Business Contact MAPI

On why BCM is the way it is.

[T]o write good Outlook Add-ins you pretty much have to use MAPI.

A managed component will have shipped while its unmanaged component will still be stuck in debugging the inevitable memory leaks, buffer overruns, and so on.

One of these days I'll post some managed code that exploits BCM, and I hope avoid stepping in any MAPI.
