entryId and subject properties for an embedded message attachement

Hi,

When I get the embedded messages from a msg file, I am trying to get the properties "SysId" and "Subject" for each attachment. These are always both null, and I have found DispalyName is in the subject line, but I do not where I can get the sysId. Do you know if this field is always null in an embedded message attachment? Here is the code I am using to extract the properties:

foreach (MapiAttachment attacment in msgAttachments)

{

MapiPropertyCollection properties = attachment.Properties;

if (properties[MapiPropertyTag.PR_ENTRYID] != null)

entryId = properties[MapiPropertyTag.PR_ENTRYID].GetLong().ToString();

if (properties[MapiPropertyTag.PR_CREATION_TIME] != null)

created = properties[MapiPropertyTag.PR_CREATION_TIME].GetDateTime().ToShortDateString();

if (properties[MapiPropertyTag.PR_LAST_MODIFICATION_TIME] != null)

modified = properties[MapiPropertyTag.PR_LAST_MODIFICATION_TIME].GetDateTime().ToShortDateString();

if (properties[MapiPropertyTag.PR_DISPLAY_NAME_W] != null)

subject = properties[MapiPropertyTag.PR_DISPLAY_NAME_W].GetString();

}

Thanks,

Karen Schmidt

Hi Karen,

Could you please see the attached sample project to get the properties from embedded message attachment and test at your end?

I could see the subject, created and modified date properties from the embedded msg files. But I still cannot see the EntryID property. I have logged this bug in our issue tracking system (ID: 14839). We will notify you when we make some progress to resolve this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

oops, did you forget to attach a sample project?

Hi Saqib,

I tried the file and the code that you sent, and I am now able to get to the properties. I see where I needed to change my code. Thank you for the project so I could pinpoint it exactly. Let me know when/if the entryId can be exposed.

Regards,

Karen Schmidt

Hi, has there been any progress on this please?


A way to get the Entry ID from MapiMessage would be appreciated. For example, this doesn’t work for me:
var entryId = myMapiMessage.GetPropertyBytes(MapiPropertyTag.PR_ENTRYID);

Hi Phil,


The ticket logged earlier under Id NETWORKNET-14839 was found “Not a bug” during our investigation. Rather it is an expected behaviour of messages to lose the PR_ENTRYID property once they are moved from the Outlook application.

If your scenario is different from the existing thread then please post in a new thread so we may investigate your said issue.

Thank you.
