"Invalid character at position 2" when opening .msg with .msg attachment

Hi,

I'm getting this error below when I'm using the aspose.network v 6.1.0 .net 1.1 dll to open a .msg file with another .msg as an attachment. I've seen messages where it was fixed with the .net 2 and 3. Is there a fix for .net 1.1?

The code I use is:

Dim mailMsg As MailMessage
mailMsg = MailMessage.Load("c:\temp\myMSG.msg", MessageFormat.Msg)

{System.ArgumentException}
[System.ArgumentException]: {System.ArgumentException}
HelpLink: Nothing
InnerException: Nothing
Message: "Invalid character at position 2.

Hi,


Thank you for inquiry.

Could you please post the MSG file here so that we could reproduce this issue at our end? I just checked the dll for .NET 1.1 and loaded an MSG file with MSG attachments, but could not find any issue.

Hi Saqib,

Thanks for you quick response. Attached is a zip with 2 of the .msg causing the error. It's not just a .msg with a .msg attachment. The attached zip has 1 .msg that has no attachment and the other one has a ppt attachment.

thanks,

Manny
