get attachment file data
 

hello
I'm using VSTO SE Outlook add in for Outlook 2007 using vb.net.I need
to get attachment details -
MIME content type,content subtype & the file data itself. I used
redemption to get content type,subtype using field value &H370E001E of
safemailItem attachment.But was not able to get attachment file data.
Is there any way to get attachment file data without saving the file &
then getting its data?

thanks

get attachment file data
 

The actual binary data for the attachment is stored in PR_ATTACH_DATA_BIN.
That property is a PT_BINARY.

However, that may be encoded in some way so the usual method is to save out
the attachment to the file system and work with it from there.

existing mail attachment.But Is there any way to find out the content
type & subtype of outgoing mail attachment.I need to retrive this
info. from outgoing mail & send it.

Sure. Just trap the item.Send() event and in that event handler first save
the item being sent, then access its Attachments collection and proceed the
same way.
