Problem with deleting attachments from mailitems attachment-collectionusing OOM 2000
 

Hi,

I've written a COM-AddIn for Outlook using VC+ and OOM.

One of the functionality is to store emails as msg-file to disk without
any attachments.

snip:
...
Outlook::AttachmentsPtr pAttachments = m_pMailItem-Attachments;

lCount = pAttachments-Count;

for(lCount; lCount 0; lCount--)
{
Outlook::AttachmentPtr pAttachment = pAttachments-Item(lCount);
if(CONDITION)
{
pAttachments-Remove(lCount);
}
}
}
...

m_pMailItem-SaveAs(strFilename, Outlook::olMSG);

...
/snip:

In Oulook 2002 and 2003 this code works fine and I'm getting my expected
msg-file without the deleted attachments before. But in Outlook2000
the stored msg-file contains all attachments anymore.


Any idea?

Best regards
Darius

Try getting each Attachment object and calling its own Delete method.
