Attachment To MailItem

[HWijngaarD]

Hi there,

How do I put an attachment (which is a mailItem) into a MailItem Object?
Like this:
Dim oAttach As Outlook.Attachment
Dim myOlMail As Outlook.MailItem
For Each oAttach In myEmail.Attachments
Set myOlMail = oAttach
Next

The problem here is that VB sees the attachment as an Attachment and not as a mailitem...

Dont you need to use :

myEmail.Attachments.Add(....?)

(Guessing here).
You may have to make an attachment object first then add that object to the attachments collection. Should be mentioned in the help files.

You need to use .CreateItemFromTemplate to open the attached mailitem.

Heres one of my c0d examples:

This is my situation:
I've got a Task Item wich contains an email as attachment.
This email I'd like to set in an EmailItem Object.
But this won't work cause the Email is an attachmentItem.
So I need somehow convert this attachment into a mailobject or something like that.

But if this cannot be done then so be it...

It can be done. Just need to modify my code example to initially get the TaskItem instead of a mailItem. Then CreateItemFromTemplate to open the saved mailitem and moved into your Inbox.

Thanks Yoda!
This is probably the only solution...
