Adding an Outlook Feature

What I want to do is relatively simple. I'm not asking for someone to do this for me, I just want to pick people's brains for a little direction and I can take it from there. What I'd like to do is write a script that would give Outlook users the option to right click on an email message and have a function, say "report spam" that would create a new message with the selected message as an attachment that has a specific email address in the to field. Sounds pretty simple, but I have no experience with VB or C, but I'm a competent individual, any help would be much appreciated.

Per the support engineer:

In fact the things you want to do is not such a small and simple thing.J

Here is a sample for copy email attachments.

===

Sub CopyAttachments(objSourceItem, objTargetItem)

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set fldTemp = fso.GetSpecialFolder(2) ' TemporaryFolder

strPath = fldTemp.Path & "\"

For Each objAtt In objSourceItem.Attachments

strFile = strPath & objAtt.FileName

objAtt.SaveAsFile strFile

objTargetItem.Attachments.Add strFile, , , objAtt.DisplayName

fso.DeleteFile strFile

Next

Set fldTemp = Nothing

Set fso = Nothing

End Sub
