For Outlook 2007 you can directly access the PR_LAST_MODIFIER_NAME property
using the PropertyAccessor for the appointment item, using this DASL syntax
for the property: "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x3FFA001E"

You can also use the other properties you mention, using their DASL syntax
property tags.

You'd have to ask Dmitry why he implemented the OutlookSpy user interface
that way and how that works with QueryInterface or IDispatch, I just always
use the IMessage button when I want to look at the MAPI properties on an
item or where specific properties aren't exposed by the Outlook object
model.
