MailItem from an RSS feed

I am using Outlook 2007 and VB6. I am using Outlook Automation in a VB

program to choose certain Outlook messages from a folder called Archive, save

them as MSG files, and then delete the messages. It works fine when only

email messages are in the folder.

But occasionally I subscribe to RSS feeds, and sometimes I drag the messages

from the RSS feeds to the Archive folder. I have to skip over those because I

can't treat them as MailItem objects.

Here is a simplified view of the code I'm using:

Dim DateTimeStr As String

Dim FilterStr As String

Dim Message As Outlook.MailItem

Dim MessageFolder As Object

Dim MessageList As Object

Dim ObjItem As Object

Dim OutlookApp As Object

Dim OutlookNamespace As Object

Dim SelectedOutlookFolder as Outlook.Folder

Set OutlookApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")

Set OutlookNamespace = OutlookApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")

Set MessageFolder =

OutlookNamespace.GetFolderFromID(SelectedOutlookFolder.EntryID,

SelectedOutlookFolder.StoreID)

DateTimeStr = Format("7/1/2009 12:00am", "ddddd h:nn AMPM")

FilterStr = "[SentOn] < '" & DateTimeStr & "'"

Set MessageList = MessageFolder.Items.Restrict(FilterStr)

If Not MessageList Is Nothing Then

For Each ObjItem In MessageList

Set Message = Nothing

On Error Resume Next

Set Message = ObjItem

If Not Message Is Nothing Then

End If

Next ObjItem

End If

Is there any way that I can test for the RSS feed messages in this same loop

and save them as MSG files also? Thanks for your help.
 
This is the problem statement:

Dim Message As Outlook.MailItem

It makes an assumption that all items being processed are MailItem objects.

If you use Object instead of MailItem for the declaration, your code should

still work fine.

Also, you should not delete messages inside a For Each ... Next loop.

Instead, use a down-counting loop, e.g.:

Dim ObjItem As Object

count = MessageList.Count

For i = count to 1 Step -1

Set ObjItem = MessageList(i)

ObjItem.SaveAs "<some path>", olMSG

ObjItem.Delete

Next
