Thanks for the code chunk, now I have in development system configured/proposed messaging scan functionality! Eliminate those pesky OoO messages :-)
Now back to the access question: Yes, the mailbox-user must be granted near administrator privileges to access that hidden email message :-( so this is not a good solution. However in researching I would see if you can upgrade to exchange 2007!!! http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/aa580465.aspx The construct returned actually has the state, Internal / external messages (woo-hoo!), and the "start/end" durations. I know, this is not meant to be FRIDAY HUMOR (which I have not seen any of yet :-( ) but you probably have a fat chance to get "either" of those granted (admin access or migration to 2007).
