Outlook Object Model - Email Sending Detection

Question

My Delphi 2006 BDS test application has the following code:

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
const
  olMailItem = 0;
var
  Outlook: OleVariant;
  vMailItem: variant;
begin
  Outlook := CreateOleObject('Outlook.Application');
  vMailItem := Outlook.CreateItem(olMailItem);

  try
    vMailItem.Recipients.add('[e-mail]');
    vMailItem.Display(True); -- outlook mail message is displayed modally
  except
  end;

  VarClear(Outlook);
end;

I need to determine if the user sent an email from the Outlook screen. I tried the following code:

if vMailItem.Sent then
 ...

But I received the error message "The item was moved or deleted." I assume this is because the mail item has been moved to the sent items folder. What is the best way to determine if a user has sent an email? Also, if the user actually sent the email, I would also have to be able to view the body of the email.

Thanks in advance.
