ASPOSE.Network does a very good job parsing Outlook’s TNEF messages, like the one attached.

From: "test"
To: "test"

My task is opposite: to compose a TNEF message from a single original file (image, Office document, PDF, etc.). Outlook has a weird but very user friendly way of presenting those.

Is there a simple way to do it with your package? Do you have any relevant samples?

Hello,


Thank you for inquiry.

I am afraid TNEF messages cannot be created currently. I have added a new feature request in our issue tracking system for this (ID: 20787). We will consider adding it in future and will inform you when it will become available.

The issues you have found earlier (filed as NETWORKNET-20787) have been fixed in this update.

Hi Alexander,


Thank you for your patience.

Please check the below source code to create a TNEF message,

C#

// Load an existing message in MapiMessage instance
MapiMessage msg = MapiMessage.FromFile(“OutlookMessage.msg”);
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
// Save the MapiMessage instance to MemoryStream in TNEF format
msg.SaveAsTnef(ms);

// Create a new intance of MailMessage
MailMessage eml = new MailMessage("test@test.com", "test@test.com");
// Add the TNEF attachment
eml.AddAttachment(new Attachment(ms, “winmail.dat”, “application/ms-tnef”));
// Save the message in EML format
eml.Save(“TnefEmail.eml”, MailMessageSaveType.EmlFormat);

Regards,
