Default Moving email attachment into inbox...

I have a minor issue which is annoying. I have set up my work email to
forward to my Gmail account which I can access via POP in Outlook 2007. My
emails are sent as attachments and I can't change this.

I have Vista Sideshow set up to view my Outlook emails but it won't display
any attachments.

I can manually move (literally click and drag) the email attachment from the
email to my inbox in Outlook and it appears as a separate email (woohoo!).
Great. But the whole point is not to have to do this manually. About half
my emails are from this account, and most of the important ones are, so this
would be nice to fix.

I've tried writing a VBA macro to do this, but it insists on treating the
email attachment as an attachment, which in fact it's really a MailItem. The
software is clearly capable of dragging .msg files into the Outlook Inbox.
But how on earth do I tell Outlook to do that using VBA..? I kind of want to
"save" the "attachment" but specifically save it into the Outlook Inbox, NOT
a directory on the HDD.

Any ideas?
