Getting Attachments from SafeMailItem returns 1st item twice

[Chris Miller]

Hi,

Im using redemption to get a mail item from outlook, this is working fine,
however, when listing its attachments I run the following code (safeMail is a
valid safemailitem from redemption:

Redemption.Attachments att = safeMail.Attachments;
Redemption.Attachment attachment = null;

for ( int i = 0; i < att.Count; i++ )
{
attachment = att.Item( i );
// regular attachment
if ( attachment.EmbeddedMsg == null )
{
CMessageAttachment baseAtt = new CMessageAttachment(
attachment.FileName, attachment.AsArray as Byte[] );
msg.Attachments.Add( baseAtt );
}

Marshal.ReleaseComObject( attachment );
attachment = null;
}

If i have an email with one attachment it works,
If i have an email with two attachments, it returns the first attachment
twice,
If i have an email with more than two attachments, it returns the first
attachment twice, and the rest of the attachments correctly there after


I'm using c# and interops, although I would have thought this code to be
correct.

Any ideas?


Many thanks

OK, sorry guys, my for loop should have been from 1, not 0

Hope this will help somebody else that can't see the wood for the trees...

For future reference all Outlook collections start at 1, unlike pure managed
code collections.
