BUG: File Attachments NULL when Received via Internet Transport

ID: Q166931

The information in this article applies to:

• Extended Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI), version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

The Name of File attachment is NULL when a message is received by a Simple MAPI, Msmapi32.ocx, or OLE Messaging client via the Internet Transport Provider.

CAUSE

The file name of an attachment is stored in several attachment properties. The Internet Transport Provider does not place the name of the file attachment in a property that the above mentioned clients can access to retrieve the file names associated with the message.

RESOLUTION

This is a bug in the Internet Transport Provider (Minet32.dll). We are working on a fix for this that will be released in the near future.

Currently the only workaround is to write the necessary code in (extended) MAPI.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft Internet Transport Provider. We are researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
