I'm interested and puzzled that you mention the GetAttachment()!
I was going to ask what code you had created for it! I thought it was a custom method you had added to your own mapi control.
I have not seen a GetAttachment() or a GetMessage() both of which I thought were custom methods.

So far I can get the attached files and copy them to my down load dir.
To do this I have to cheat by sending the file names in the subject and substitute these correct ones for the alias names in the temp dir.
So my main problem is the alias name stuff mai,mai0,mai1.......

I note your comment that:
>You must make sure you are using at least the first SP1 version of IE4 if OE is your Simple MAPI client otherwise there's some significant bugs trying to get the attachments.
Which is the more buggy the IE4 or OE?

My IE4 says its sp1 and Outlook Express (I'll check the version)
What SP is the current IE4 one?

TIA.

>The code I posted was for Outlook Express 4.01 as the Simple MAPI client. Other mail programs may deal with the attachments differently. You should be able to get the correct filenames from the GetAttachment() method and the properties set by that method.
