Implementation Reference
- src/outlook-manager.js:650-664 (handler)The core implementation of the duplicate_email_as_draft tool. Fetches the source email content using getEmailById and creates a new draft email using createDraft, optionally updating subject and recipients.async duplicateEmailAsDraft(sourceEmailId, newSubject, newRecipients) { // まず元のメールの内容を取得 const originalEmail = await this.getEmailById(sourceEmailId); // 新しい件名を設定（指定されていない場合は元の件名を使用） const finalSubject = newSubject || originalEmail.subject; // 新しい宛先を設定（指定されていない場合は空にする） const finalRecipients = newRecipients || []; // createDraftを使用して新しい下書きを作成 const draftData = { to: finalRecipients, subject: finalSubject, body: originalEmail.body }; return await this.createDraft(draftData); }
- src/index.js:174-196 (schema)Input schema definition for the duplicate_email_as_draft tool, defining parameters source_email_id (required), new_subject, and new_recipients.{ name: "duplicate_email_as_draft", description: "复制已有邮件为草稿（保持完整格式）", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { source_email_id: { type: "string", description: "要复制的原始邮件ID" }, new_subject: { type: "string", description: "新邮件主题（可选）" }, new_recipients: { type: "array", items: { type: "string" }, description: "新收件人列表（可选）" } }, required: ["source_email_id"] } }
- src/index.js:342-358 (registration)Registration of the tool handler in the CallToolRequestSchema switch statement, which validates arguments and delegates to OutlookManager.duplicateEmailAsDraft.case 'duplicate_email_as_draft': { const sourceEmailId = args?.source_email_id; const newSubject = args?.new_subject; const newRecipients = args?.new_recipients; if (!sourceEmailId) { throw new Error('Source email ID is required'); } const result = await outlookManager.duplicateEmailAsDraft(sourceEmailId, newSubject, newRecipients); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `✅ **邮件复制成功**\n\n**结果:** ${result}${newSubject ? `\n**新主题:** ${newSubject}` : ''}${newRecipients ? `\n**新收件人:** ${newRecipients.join(', ')}` : ''}`, }, ], }; }
- src/outlook-manager.ts:392-474 (handler)TypeScript version of the handler using Outlook's ReplyAll method to better preserve email formatting, tables, and styles when duplicating to draft.async duplicateEmailAsDraft(sourceEmailId: string, newSubject?: string, newRecipients?: string[], storeId?: string): Promise<string> { const script = ` try { Add-Type -AssemblyName "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook" -ErrorAction Stop $outlook = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application -ErrorAction Stop $namespace = $outlook.GetNamespace("MAPI") # Find the original email using EntryID and StoreID $item = $null $sourceEntryID = "${sourceEmailId.replace(/"/g, '""')}" $sourceStoreID = "${(storeId || '').replace(/"/g, '""')}" # Try GetItemFromID with StoreID first, then fallback methods try { if ($sourceStoreID -and $sourceStoreID.Length -gt 0) { $item = $namespace.GetItemFromID($sourceEntryID, $sourceStoreID) } else { $item = $namespace.GetItemFromID($sourceEntryID) } } catch { # Fallback: search through folders $folders = @( $namespace.GetDefaultFolder(6), # Inbox $namespace.GetDefaultFolder(5), # Sent Items $namespace.GetDefaultFolder(16) # Drafts ) foreach ($folder in $folders) { try { foreach ($email in $folder.Items) { if ($email.EntryID -eq $sourceEntryID) { $item = $email break } } if ($item) { break } } catch { continue } } } if (-not $item) { throw "Original email not found with EntryID: $sourceEntryID" } # Use ReplyAll to preserve all formatting, then modify $draft = $item.ReplyAll() # Update subject if provided $subjectToUse = "${(newSubject || '').replace(/"/g, '""')}" if ($subjectToUse.Length -gt 0) { $draft.Subject = $subjectToUse } # Clear and set recipients if provided if ("${(newRecipients || []).join(',')}" -ne "") { $draft.Recipients.RemoveAll() $newRecipientsList = @("${(newRecipients || []).join('","')}") foreach ($recipient in $newRecipientsList) { if ($recipient.Trim().Length -gt 0) { $draft.Recipients.Add($recipient.Trim()) | Out-Null } } } # Resolve recipients and save try { $draft.Recipients.ResolveAll() | Out-Null } catch { } $draft.Save() Write-Output "success" } catch { Write-Output "error: $($_.Exception.Message)" } `; const result = await this.executePowerShell(script); if (result.startsWith('error:')) { throw new Error(result.substring(7)); } return 'Draft created successfully using ReplyAll method'; }
- src/index.ts:659-683 (registration)TypeScript handler registration supporting optional store_id parameter.case 'duplicate_email_as_draft': { const sourceEmailId = (args as any)?.source_email_id; const newSubject = (args as any)?.new_subject; const newRecipients = (args as any)?.new_recipients; const storeId = (args as any)?.store_id; if (!sourceEmailId) { throw new Error('Source email ID is required'); } const result = await outlookManager.duplicateEmailAsDraft( sourceEmailId, newSubject, newRecipients, storeId ); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `✅ **Email duplicated successfully**\n\n**Result:** ${result}${newSubject ? `\n**New Subject:** ${newSubject}` : ''}${newRecipients ? `\n**New Recipients:** ${newRecipients.join(', ')}` : ''}`, }, ], }; }
