Hi Albert,

Thank you for contacting Aspose.Email support team.

If you are loading the source message using MailMessage class, you can use the following code sample for this purpose:

Sample Code:

MailMessage msg = MailMessage.Load("Test with attachment message.msg", MessageFormat.Msg);

Attachment att = msg.Attachments[0];

if (att.ContentType.MediaType == "message/rfc822")
{
    MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
    att.Save(ms);

    MailMessage attMsg = MailMessage.Load(ms);

    Console.WriteLine("From: " + attMsg.From);
    Console.WriteLine("To: " + attMsg.To);
    Console.WriteLine("Subject: " + attMsg.Subject);
}

In case you are using MapiMessage class for loading such a source message file, you can refer to the following code sample for your kind reference to achieve this:

Sample Code:

MapiMessage message = Aspose.Email.Outlook.MapiMessage.FromFile("Test with attachment message.msg");

MapiAttachmentCollection attachments = message.Attachments;

foreach (MapiAttachment attachment in attachments)
{
    if (attachment.ObjectData != null && attachment.ObjectData.IsOutlookMessage)
    {
        MapiMessage embeddedMessage = Aspose.Email.Outlook.MapiMessage.FromStream(new System.IO.MemoryStream(attachment.ObjectData.Data));

        // Now use MailMessageInterpretor for conversion of MapiMessage to MailMessage
        MailMessageInterpretor mi = MailMessageInterpretorFactory.Instance.GetIntepretor(message.MessageClass);
        MailMessage mailMsg = mi.Interpret(embeddedMessage);

        Console.WriteLine("From: " + mailMsg.From);
        Console.WriteLine("To: " + mailMsg.To);
        Console.WriteLine("Subject: " + mailMsg.Subject);
    }
}
