Copying/Moving/Saving an Embedded/Attached Message to a Mail Folder
 

Hello,

I receive mail where a message is embedded/attached*. Normally, I'd
open the (parent) message (in a folder other than Inbox) and drag the
attachment to a folder (also other than Inbox), then mark it as
Unread.

I'm trying to do this programmatically within Outlook 2003/VBA, but
seem to be at a loss.

The closest I can come is to save the attachment to a temporary file
and then try to import, but then all sorts of info is lost (timestamp,
etc.).

I also tried using CDO, but I seem to have trouble finding my way
around it...

Any ideas?

Thanks.

account for 10+ years. They won't even let me PAY them for POP3
access, and Web2POP isn't working now ether, more ranting in private...

Copying/Moving/Saving an Embedded/Attached Message to a Mail Folde
 

AFAIK, there's no way to directly take an embedded message (as an Attachment
object) and move it out of the message. You do have to save it as a .msg
file, but you'd also need to use Redemption (http://www.dimastr.com) to
import it - see the RDOSession.GetMessageFromMsgFile method.
