unable to save attachment-- Outlook 2003, C# "Krishna" <krishnatangirala[ at ]gmail.com> 1/25/2007 10:44:16 PM Hi, I am developing a plug-in to Outlook 2003 using C#. I am trying to save attachments in the mail-item-send event handler. If the mail-item has ordinary attachments, like when user clicks Attach button, I am able to save them. But, if the mail-item has attachment as a result of an inline image(user copy-paste an image to mail body) I get a COM exeption, with the message: "Cannot save the attachment. Cannot add the attachment; no data source was provided." my code to save attachment is something like this: Ol.Attachment Attachment = mi.Attachment[i]; String myDir = "C:\\EmailAttachments"; String myfullName = myDir + "\\" + Attachment.FileName; try { Attachment.SaveAsFile(myfullName); } catch(Exception ex) { ..... } Can someone help me with this problem. If its not possible for me to save the Attachment in the send-mail event handler, is there any work-around. Thanks, Krishna.
