Hey Charles, This is great feedback, thanks! You're right, your syntax for the Properties is much simpler, we just missed that one. And also putting the send message at the end would be a little better for maintenance, assuming your message was the same for the initial message and subsequent messages.

I found that using the actual property name (since Conversation.Property is a Dictionary) instead of the enum value worked and was more readable

So $c.Properties["Subject"] instead of $c.Properties[<arbitrarynumber>]

Also, you don't neccessarily need to pass a Dictionary<IMContentType, blah> into the BeginSendMessage method - a string would do (though I'm assuming that a dictionary supports more Lync functionality like passing multiple messages etc, but in this case is just an extra line of code)

Additionally a very minor quip - I'd modify the script so that the message is sent at the end, and the conditional statements just perform the task of getting hold of a conversation.message instance, just for ease of maintenance if the method of sending the message needs to change (only one place to maintain vs two)
