How to determine if an attactment is hidden?
 

Hi

I am saving attachents from incomming email. This works OK.
The problem is that it also saved hidden attachemnts like logo's etc.
I have found a similiar problem on this newsgroup, but I don't quite
manage to make it work.
I have startet coding, and made the stuff below. The "realAttc" boolean
variable always return true, no
matter what email I examine.
I have inserted the following values, but is this correct:?
PR_ATTACHMENT_HIDDEN =
sItem.GetIDsFromNames("{00062008-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}",
&H7FFE000B) Or PT_BOOLEAN

For me it seems like it just tests the whole email item, and not every
single attachment.?
As you can see I am bit confused, so any code snippet, or hint would be
appriciated.


Set sItem = CreateObject("Redemption.SafeMailItem")
If sItem Is Nothing Then
AttachedFiles = 999
Else
sItem.Item = myEmailItem
PR_ATTACHMENT_HIDDEN =
sItem.GetIDsFromNames("{00062008-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}",
&H7FFE000B) Or PT_BOOLEAN
realAttc = sItem.Fields(PR_ATTACHMENT_HIDDEN)
End If

How to determine if an attactment is hidden?
 

That property simply hides the attachment icon from the message list view in
Outlook.
To hide a particular attachment from the Outlook UI, you need to set the
PR_ATTACHMENT_HIDDEN (0x7FFE000B) property on that attachment
(Attachment.Fields).
That probably will be set by Outlook on the outgoing message, but most
likely it will not be present on the incoming messages.
To check whether an attachment is really an embedded HTML image, read the
PR_ATTACH_CONTENT_ID (0x3712001E) property and (if you really need to be
100% sure), check to see if there is an img tag in the message HTML body
that has the "src=cid:..." attribute with the same value (if
PR_ATTACH_CONTENT_ID = "xyz", src attribute will be src=cid:xyz)
