OutLook MailItem send event doesn't work

I generate a message and open it for the user, using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook. When a user sends the message in Outlook I want to capture this event. Not as discussed in this SO tread:

capture the Outlook 2013 Send event

where I capture all sent emails, not only generated.

public static MailItem CreateMail() 
{
    Application outlook = new Application();
    MailItem mailItem = outlook.CreateItem(OlItemType.olMailItem);
    // set recipients, body, ect..
    mailItem.Send += MailItemSendedHandler;
    Inspector inspector = mailItem.GetInspector;
    inspector.Activate();
    return mailItem;
}

static void MailItemSendedHandler(ref bool isSended) 
{
}

MailItem has a Send() method and a Send Event. When I subscribe I get the error:

Cannot assign to "Send", because it is a method group.

How can I capture the Send event for my MailItem?

MailItem is an interface which inherits from interfaces _MailItem and ItemEvents_10_Event. Both of them have Send. (In _MailItem it is a method, in ItemEvents_10_Events it is an event). I think we have a conflict, and need to clearly define which Send we want to use.

((ItemEvents_10_Event)mailItem).Send += new ItemEvents_10_SendEventHandler(MailItemSendedHandler);

static void MailItemSendedHandler(ref bool isSended) 
{
}
