Commented Unassigned: Unable to get attachment filename [21972]

Hi All,

I encountered an exception while trying to get attachment filenames for an email in Outlook 2013 and wondering if anybody encountered this before?

The exception shows:
at NetOffice.Invoker.PropertyGet(COMObject comObject, ...)
at NetOffice.OutlookApi.Attachment.get_Filename()

This problem only happen with specific emails and not all.
And it seems to be email in RichText format with embedded attachments.
I tried to simulate this problem but did not encounter any problem on my own machine.

Anybody else ever encounter this problem?

The code snippet is as follow:

Outlook.Attachments olAttachments = _MailItem.Attachments;
int iTotalAtts = 0;
string AttachmentFolder = string.Empty;
if (olAttachments != null)
{
iTotalAtts = olAttachments.Count;
if (iTotalAtts > 0)
{
AttachmentFolder = _slMailObj.tmp_folder + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar + _slMailObj.mail_id + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar;
Directory.CreateDirectory(AttachmentFolder);
}

int nCount = 1;
foreach (Outlook.Attachment att in olAttachments)
{
string tmpAttachFile = AttachmentFolder + nCount.ToString("000") + "_" + att.FileName;
tmpAttachFile = wsFile.GetUniqueFileName(tmpAttachFile);
att.SaveAsFile(tmpAttachFile);
nCount++;
}
}

Thanks.

Anybody has any idea?

Fyi, if I fwd this email to another user and then, try the same code, it works.
So this probably point to some formatting problem since once forwarded something in the email changed.
