Reporting whether a message is read is redundant verbosity, since if it's unread, you will hear unread. We'll see about making replied and forwarded accessible, though.

@michaelDCurran This was assigned to you a long time ago, was there some progress on this? Can I unassign it from you?

@feerrenrut: No progress was made. Originally all MS Office bugs were assigned to me. Feel free to take it.

I'd really appreciate this to be fixed, so let me know whether I can be of any assistance.

An Spanish user asked NVDA.es about this and says that, with the last NVDA version, I suppose, she can't know if a message is marked as replied or forwarded. In addition another related issue is open (#6911). Any progress on this? Can the issue be solved?

Thanks.

I'm afraid this can't be fixed for Outlook 2010 and older. Where Outlook 2013 and above expose the replied to or forwarded status using the UIA value, Outlook 2010 does not. For Outlook 2010, name and value properties just seem to expose the same.

We can not retrieve replied to or forwarded information from the object model, as that triggers a security warning in Outlook 2010.

Closing this as can't fix.
