Hi,

I am evaluating aspose.email v18.1. I am using MapiMessage class to parse the outlook message files.
I need your help to get the original file name if message file has embedded attachments.

Thanks,
Balmukunda

Thank you for writing to Aspose support team.

You may please use following sample code to display embedded object original file name. If it does not display the required information, please send us the sample file for our testing here. We will analyze the sample file and provide assistance accordingly.

MapiMessage mapi = MapiMessage.FromFile(@"Test Subject.msg");
foreach(var att in mapi.Attachments)
{
    Console.WriteLine(att.DisplayName);
}

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

The above code works if message has regular attachments. I need to extract actual filename if attachment is inline.
When tested, for any outlook message with inline attachment for HTML and RTF body type, i was unable to extract it.

For inline attachment of HTML body type message file, attachment properties such as DisplayName, FileName and LongFileName will have filename image001.png.
For inline attachment of RTF body type message file, attachment properties are stored in ObjectData property.

For both cases, i was not able to get the actual file-name and extension.

Thanks,
Balmukunda

@Balmukunda,

If you open the Message file with Html body using Outlook Spy or MFCMapi and analyze the message attachments, you will see that attachment names are the same as displayed by Aspose.Email API. For message with RTF body, when we try to open it in MS Outlook, it doesn’t display the attachment and blocks it. We are not sure if it is a valid message file or not as the latest version of MS Outlook has issues displaying it.
