 Need help with Outlook and VB (Drag and Drop)

Whenever I post a question regarding Drag and Drop in the VB newsgroups I
get "0" replies.  So I figured since my question is also Outlook related I'd
try here.

When I drag and drop an email from Outlook Express into my VB app it strips
all the email addresses from within it and does what I need it to do.
However, when I drag and drop a message from Outlook I get next to nothing
for data.  I get no email address info or body of the message.

Does anyone here have any experience with Dragging and dropping from
Outlook?  Please contact me,

Justin

Thanks!

OE uses a plain text format for *.eml's, Outlook's *.msg is proprietary- for
your app to work it'll need to read the msg format or access the outlook
data via the object model.

I'm told that the Outlook Object Model is very restrictive.  Hence the fact
that I'm not getting very much info.  While the MSG file is proprietary if
you look at it via notepad it does contain the info I need in TEXT form.
I've been pointed to something called the Redemption COM object that opens
up Outlook but I'm having no luck with it.

if you reassociate *.msg with notepad (or change the extension to txt), can
you do it? (this is assuming the msg are on the hard drive, not in outlook's
message store)

To answer your question, yes.  I had to tweak my script a little to get it
to recieve from the desktop.  However ultimately I will need to accept the
data from Outlook regardless of where the email is stored.  I heard back
from the guys that made Redemption and according to them:

"You can only do that using Extended MAPI (C++/Delphi)."  Unless I can find
another route I'm afraid I'm stuck.  I need to go live ASAP and rewriting my
script for C++ and the term ASAP do not go hand in hand :)
