ActiveExplorer is the active object in a folder view. Selected items in
ActiveExplorer are in the Selection collection. Once you have the item you
can access all its properties and its attachments.
Something like this:
private Outlook.Selection colSelect;
private Outlook.MailItem m_mail;
if (this.Application.ActiveExplorer() != Null)
{
colSelect = this.Application.ActiveExplorer().Selection;
try
{
m_mail = (Outlook.MailItem) colSelect[1];
// whatever
}
catch
{
}
// whatever
}
