does anyone know how to read the properties of a contact (ie. FirstName)
when that contact is an attatchment to an email?

The only way to get any information out of an attachment without
saving it to the file system first and then opening it is to use
Extended MAPI (C++ or Delphi only and a very long learning curve).
Otherwise you would have to save the attachment to the file system and
open it from there. Then you can access the various properties.
