Reading outlook .msg files

[CJ Taylor]

Hi Jay,

I don't know vb6 at all. It sounds strange, but I stared off with vbscript!
Then I moved to asp.net.

If you know VBScript, Vb6 wouldn't be a challenge, since vbscript could be
considered a subset of VB6...

Eduardo,
Based on the numbers you are showing, it appears that each MAPI Property is
stored as a separate Stream. Interesting!

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...n-us/mapi/html/_mapi1book_mapi_properties.asp

__substg1.0_0037001E -> subject

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/mapi/html/_mapi1book_pr_subject.asp

Of course the .msg format itself is not not documented by MS that I know of,
it may change use at your own risk. For example, the introduction of Unicode
and Contact items and such...

Thanks for the info!

Hope this helps
Jay

You are right, and that makes it easier.
