title: How to get the MailItem belonging to a read receipt (ReportItem) via Outlook automation
body: <p>Outlook stores read receipts as <code>ReportItem</code> objects.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to get an <code>ID</code> or some details of the original message belonging to a given read receipt? I've looked through the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/bb176769%28v=office.12%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">properties of the <code>ReportItem</code></a> object but I'm lost.</p>
  
  <p>Since read receipts come in different forms, I wouldn't want to process the body of the receipt programmatically - instead I'm looking to get it from Outlook if it's possible.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Note</strong>: the solution should work from at least Outlook 2003 to new versions.</p>
