Inspectors in Outlook 2007 certainly do use the Ribbon. The indexes for PR_ICON_INDEX are hard coded and you couldn't just use FaceID images. You'd have to extract the images or create your own, they must be in certain formats for the large and small icons. Look at the ones used by Outlook now in the \Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Forms\1033 folder. Office12 is for Outlook 2007, substitute if you are using a different version, 1033 is for US English. There are pairs of large and small icons there. Large are 16x16 and small are 32x32, both in ICO format. If you set PR_ICON_INDEX to -1 you can then use the external ICO files. But to do that you need a custom form with a custom MessageClass and the form design for that form (must be published) has the content files for the images in the FormDescription for the custom form in the Icon and MiniIcon properties. Those string properties have the file names of the large and small icons to use for that MessageClass.
