Default Command-line utility to attach attachments to Outlook.msg file

Hello,

I am trying to find if there are any utilities (preferably command-line for scripting) that can manually attach a file to an Outlook .msg file.

The quick background is that email archive software has been archiving our exchange email. It strips out the attachments, saves the .msg and attachments in separate zip files on the archive server, and replaces the email with a stub. The problem is that users have been filing those emails into our document management system, which does not recognize the stub and cannot open the email.

I've written a database script that can identify the location of the original .msg files and attachments based on the stub, and copy the email back in place of the stub, but I also need to re-attach the original attachments (which I can also locate).

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
