Images from Word to MAPI with VB6

[Danny]

Ok, I need a little advice...

I'm currently using VB6 to interface with MAPI. I'm selecting all of the
contents of a Word document, (.Selection.WholeStory) and then copying it
to the clipboard (.Selection.Copy), and then pasting into the mapi
message (.MsgNoteText = Clipboard.GetText(vbCFText)). Now before you
flame me, I should note that I did not write this code, I inherited it.

Now I've got users who want to have word docs with images in them appear
in the email. Simple request from a end users standpoint, nightmare for
me . Any suggestions? One thing to note is that before copying the
Word doc, I'm setting it's custom doc properties' values with values
from a database. And the doc properties have been inserted into the doc.
That's probably why the above method was employed. Thanks in advance.

I don't think it matters. I've got users on 2000, 2002, and 2003. I
think that's why the it was written to interface with the MAPI object.
To not be version specific.
