I have a journal entry that has a screen image (from ctrl + print screen)
pasted into it.

I need to extract this image (bmp) and save it as a file.

When I use the Outlook object model, I can see one attachment but it is not
a valid bmp file.

How can I extract this image and save it to disk?

Thanks.

You get an OLE attachment (PR_ATTACH_METHOD == ATTACH_OLE). You will need to
covert the IStorage data into a bitmap somehow...
