How to save email as draft in Outlook 2003 programmatically?

Question

I am working on an VB.NET app which constructs emails programmatically.

This app can be used by different people at the same time so I thought that having a "central" email mailbox would be appropriate. The users would then have "links" (not sure of the correct term) to that central mailbox through their local copy of Outlook.

I want to be able to save these emails so that all users can see the generated emails in the "Drafts" folder of their Outlook so that they can check the emails first for any errors and then send it off.

I was originally simply talking directly to the Outlook app on the server using Microsoft.Office.Interop but have since read that it is not recommended for use in this sort of scenario.

Any ideas?

Try looking into VBA macros. ( http://blogs.msdn.com/synergist/archive/2007/05/23/adding-a-vba-macro-to-outlook.aspx )
