Hi there,

I am stuck in a problem and I don't seem to find the answer in the
groups.

I am developing an addin in c# in outlook 2003.

When the user forwards one PostItem, outlook creates a MailItem and
puts the documents contained in the PostItem as attachment of the
MailItem.

When the user forwards two or more Post Items together, outlook creates
a MailItem and puts the PostItems as attachments. Each of them with its
attachments.

I am capturing the item send event. I want to remove the PostItems from
the attachments of the MailItem and just leave the attachments that the
PostItems contain.

That has been impossible to accomplish!

When I get the attachmets of the MailItem I get a ".msg". It is not
possible to get its attachments using the Outlook object model.

I read in the groups that you can access to the attachments using
Redemption because it has the EmbeddedMsg property. I tried it but to
no avail.

The first problem with Redemption is that when I set the Item property
of the SafeMailItem, the attachments collection continues being null.
Then I decided to save the attachments in the hard disk and then add an
Redemption Attachment. No joy. The property EmbeddedMsg is null.

I am posting the code, I may be doing something wrong!

Outlook.MailItem mailItem ... // This is the MailItem that I receive
from the ItemSend event

Redemption.SafeMailItem safeMailItem = new
Redemption.SafeMailItemClass();

safeMailItem.Item = mailItem;

// I can't use safeMailItem Attachments.Count because is 0
if (mailItem.Attachments.Count > 1)
{
  for (int i = mailItem.Attachments.Count; i > 0; i--)
  {
    Outlook.Attachment attachment = mailItem.Attachments[i];

    attachment.SaveAsFile(@"c:\" + fileName.ToUpper());

    safeMailItem.Attachments.Add(@"c:\" + fileName.ToUpper(),
Outlook.OlAttachmentType.olByValue, 1, fileName);

    Redemption.Attachment safeAttachment = safeMailItem.Attachments[1];

       // This line crashes because the EmbeddedMsg is null (not
defined)
       Redemption.MessageItem messageItem =
safeAttachment.EmbeddedMsg;
  }
