Getting Sender Email from a "Just Arrived" Email

I have an embedded form inside an email message window which shows additional information (extracted from the corporate database) about the sender based on their email address. (using D7 and the version of Addin Express before 2007).

I currently use this code to get the email address:

if Self.OutlookAppObj.ActiveExplorer.Selection.Count > 0 then
lSelectedItem := Self.OutlookAppObj.ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(1);
Result := lSelectedItem.SenderEmailAddress;

which works fine if you first select an email from your inbox and double-click to open it.

But when a new email arrives, Outlook gives you that hint in the bottom right with the sender's name, subject line and a preview of the text. If you click on that hint to open the message, the above code doesn't work because the email in question is not actually selected in the Inbox.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find an answer by searching the forums, mainly because I wasn't sure what the correct term for that "Email hint" is.

Thank you,
Richard
