We have a third-party application that enables saving emails and attachments
into a SQL Server database as image datatypes. For reasons of our own, we
want to be able to retrieve this data.
We are able to (via C# and ADO.Net) read this data and save it to disk - in
effect, "reconstituting" the email and its attachments. We save the email
data as a ".msg" file and double-clicking it allows Outlook to open it. So
far, so good. The trouble begins when we attempt to open an attachment
associated with the email using the email window. Double-clicking the
attachment instead causes an Outlook dialog to appear stating "Not found".
Is there any way to store the ".msg" file and the associated attachments
such that double-clicking the attachment from the opened email message will
allow the attachment file to open? Is there some special directory that these
files have to be stored in?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
