Hi Dmitry,

is there a supported way in Redemption to export a Microsoft Purview / Sensitivity Label protected mail as an *unprotected* MSG file, byte-faithful (original MAPI properties, internet headers, SentOn, EntryID-equivalent metadata, attachments) — assuming the current user has full rights on the item?

Context:
- Outlook COM add-in, C# / .NET Framework 4.8, AddInExpress, classic Outlook desktop.
- Item is protected via a Sensitivity Label (Purview / MIP), not classic AD RMS templates and not S/MIME. MessageClass is IPM.Note.rpmsg, message.rpmsg attachment present.
- Outlook's "My Permissions" dialog confirms full rights including **Export: Yes** and **Programmatic Access: Yes**. Body and attachments are readable in the UI.
- The item lives in Sent Items, so the original is read-only — we do not need to modify it, only to produce an unprotected copy on disk.
- Outlook's built-in "Remove protection" path refuses with "protection cannot be removed, change the sensitivity label instead" — which is expected for label-based protection, but a downgrade is not desired here (we want an export, not a label change on the live item).

What I've tried with the PIA:
- MailItem.SaveAs(path, olMsgUnicode) writes the rpmsg wrapper, resulting MSG is an empty shell with message.rpmsg attached.
- Building a new MailItem via CreateItem + copying HTMLBody/Attachments works for content, but the result is a draft and loses SentOn, InternetMessageHeaders, original sender/recipient MAPI props, etc. — not acceptable for our use case.

What I'm looking for:
1. A Redemption pattern that yields a fully decrypted, unprotected RDOMail / MSG with original envelope properties preserved.
2. In particular, whether RDOAttachment.EmbeddedMsg on the message.rpmsg attachment is the intended entry point here, or if there is a more direct API.
3. Whether Sensitivity Label protected items behave differently from classic AD RMS items from Redemption's perspective.

If this scenario isn't supported by Redemption either, a short confirmation would also help — saves me chasing the wrong path.

Thanks!

I'm not sure that Dmitry Streblechenko (author of Redemption) monitors this forum. If you don't get an answer here, you can contact Redemption Support directly in a number of ways: Contact Redemption Support
