Saving only the REAL attachments of an Outlook MailItem

Viewed 4812

I'm currently developing an Outlook Addin which saves MailItems and Attachments in my MSSQL Database.

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.

Does anyone know how to save all real attachments?? I mean like the attachments in the picture below:

enter image description here

and not the embbeded images that are in the mail body.

Here is the code that I use to loop through all attachments of a MailItem and then save it:

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);
      }
 }

Thanks!

----------- EDIT ------------

I also posted this question on the Microsoft TechNet and I just received an answer to the question (See link below)

Outlook 2007 & 2010: Save all attachments except the embedded attachments C#

----------- EDIT ------------

My problem is still not fixed, the help I got from Microsoft is useless.. So Please I really need this to be fixed!
