Load .msg email via Outlook 2007

[Lit]

Hello,

Is there an example in VB.NET or C# to load a .MSG message and extract its
attachments and body content.

I am using VS.NET 2003 and Office 2007 Beta.

Thanks so much

Lit

I don't think anything new in that area is in the Outlook object model. You would still use the Application.CreateItemFromTemplate method to return an unsent copy of the item, whose Body, HTMLBOdy and Attachments you can then use.

Sue,

What you are saying if I have a .MSG File on Disk then I can not load it
into an Outlook object and work with it.
Can Microsoft make this available one day?

No, what I'm saying is that to meet your statement requirements -- accessing the message body and attachments -- CreateItemFromTemplate is the method in the Outlook object model that would meet those requirements.

If you have other requirements, then you should state them.

Sue,

My requirements is this:

Open a .MSG File that resides on the hard disk and extract all the
attachments and body info.

So using CreateItemFromTemplate will help me do that?

..MSG Files are coming from an outside source like CDs, DVDs HDs, USB Memory
Sticks etc.

Thank you Sue for all your help

Yes, why not try it and see for yourself?

Sue,

You are right it works.
however When I execute blahblah.Body.ToString(), I am getting a security
alert from Outlook 2007 in a Dialog Box that said something like this: "Do
you want to allow 'someone'" to access the email body content.
I click on the <Allow> Button and everything is fine.

How to suppress that is a mystery to me.

Thanks you sooooooooooooo much for your help
U Are the best.

See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sec.htm for your options with regard to the "object model guard" security in Outlook 2000 SP2 and later versions.

Sue,

You are MVP++, Thanks again.
The article helped me in an indirect way, I could not find the Registry Hack
needed and did not talk to the system admin yet, will figure it out in the
future.

Here is what I did for now to get by, without the Security Guard Dialog box
showing up.

Open Outlook 2007 Beta App.
Goto Outlook 2007 Tools Menu
Select Trust Center...
Click on Programmatic Access ( located on the left pane)
Select the Radio Button "Never warn me about suspicious activity ( not
recommended)) See Warning below.

Warning: Since I don't have Antivirus protection at this time on my Dev
Server, I will have it in the future, I did selected the "Never Warn me ..."
option. Always go with what is recommended which in this case the first
option "Warn me about suspicious activity when my antivirus software is
inactive or out-of-date (recommended)"


For now that is good for me while developing... I don't see the dialog box
any more.

Thanks Sue,

Lit
