How do I send an email and close the current inspector from within an Outlook form region?

Question

I have an outlook 2010 AdjoiningFormRegion that contains a single button. The idea is that a user composes an email then clicks my send button instead of the usual outlook send button. My send button will communicate some info to a web service then send the email as usual and close the inspector window? Is this even possible? It would be great to hook into a send event but I've had no luck figuring this out.

The Send method of the MailItem class will send the email and close the window just as clicking the Send button does.

(Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveInspector().CurrentItem as MailItem).Send()
