code to check if an email only contains an image

L

lee.james

We're tired of getting spam that consists of just an image in the
message body, apparently Antigen, MS's IMF filter, and Outlook's own
junk rules can't seem to stop this kind of spam......

So we're wondering if we can make our own custom rule, 'on incoming
email run this script...'

The script would basically check the email to see if it contained an
embedded image and nothing else.

Is this possible? Can someone point me to a code sample?

Thx,

James

Embedded images have a property 'PR_ATTACH_CONTENT_ID' set. With Outlook's
object model you can't read that, instead you'd have to use CDO 1.21
(optional component from Outlook/Office CD) or Redemption from
www.dimastr.com.
