I'm trying to open the saved item manually using outlook 2007/2003. Just to
give a correct context, the user tries to open the item is not the owner of
the message... and the attachment gets stored in a remote share on network.

I think you mean the file extension by referring "the correct file
types?"... If so, yes. If not, I don't know how to set correct file type. OL
2003 object model does not have message type as a parameter in the SaveFileAs
method.

Method Signature
===========
Outlook.Attachment.SaveFileAs string

At the same time I don't have any issue with other files like images,
documents...

Regards,
Selvam.

Attempt to read it in code or in the user interface?

Are you saving the attachments as the correct type of files?

Team,

I use Outlook 2003 and in my add-in I save attachments in a share folder
(UNC). I don't see any issue while writing in to the shared folder but
when I
attempt to read, the message does not open. I don't have google desktop
installed on my machine. Is there any resolution for this problem?

Regards,
Selvam.
