They are actually inline images. When I try to get the Type, it returns
olByValue.

I realise that I encounter this problem if I use Word 2003 to edit the email
messages (i.e. checkbox found under Tools - Options - Mail Format -
Message Format).

Is there a work around, to ensure that inline images will be saved correctly
even if Word 2003 is chosen as the editor?

In that case there is nothing to go on for Outlook and most likely the
Attachment fields such as PR_ATTACH_FILENAME and such are blank. Are these
images or embedded Outlook objects? In any case about all you could do on a
low level would be to try to extract the attachment binary data and save
that out but you wouldn't know the file type or correct file format so that
wouldn't do much good at all.

Hi Sue,

The SaveAsFile method works for normail emails. However, when I try to
execute this method on inline attachments (namely, images), I get the
following error:

"Cannot save the attachment. Cannot add the attachment; no data source was
provided."

Could you shed some light on why this is so, and how can I overcome it?
Many
thanks in advance.
