    <p>I'm currently developing an Outlook Addin which saves MailItems and Attachments in my MSSQL Database.</p> <p>I got a method where I save the MailItem with all it's attachments. But if I save all attachments the embedded images in the MailItem are also saved.</p> <p>Does anyone know how to save all <em>real</em> attachments?? I mean like the attachments in the picture below:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/AZ3cO.png" alt="enter image description here"> </p> <p>and not the embbeded images that are in the mail body.</p> <p>Here is the code that I use to loop through all attachments of a MailItem and then save it:</p> <pre><code>foreach (Outlook.Attachment att in mailItem.Attachments) { try { att.SaveAsFile(Path.GetTempPath() + att.FileName); var fi = new FileInfo(Path.GetTempPath() + att.FileName); //Saving attachment to DB var attachment = Attachment.NieuwAttachment(att.FileName, SelectedMap.DossierNr.ToString( CultureInfo.InvariantCulture), -1, Convert.ToInt32(SelectedMap.Tag), fi); if (!Attachment.InlezenAttachment(attachment)) continue; OutlookCategories.AddAttachmentCategory(mailItem); } catch (Exception ex) { var dmsEx = new DmsException("Er is een fout opgetreden bij het opslaan van een bijlage.", ex.Message, ex); ExceptionLogger.LogError(dmsEx); } } </code></pre> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>----------- EDIT ------------</p> <p>I also posted this question on the Microsoft TechNet and I just received an answer to the question (See link below)</p> <p><a href="http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/3d369718-7956-4cf1-8eeb-2e92416c1fef/outlook-2007-2010-save-all-attachments-except-the-embedded-attachments-c?forum=outlook&amp;prof=required" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Outlook 2007 &amp; 2010: Save all attachments except the embedded attachments C#</a></p> <p>----------- EDIT ------------</p> <p>My problem is still not fixed, the help I got from Microsoft is useless.. So Please I really need this to be fixed!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
