I would like to write some VBA code to process mail messages with attachments

so that I can save the attachment in the file system.

So far, I have been able to do this, so long as the mail message only has a

file as an attachment (text, xls, doc, etc.).

I run into difficulties when I receive messages which contain other mail

messages as attachments, and the attached mail message itself has a file

attachments.

It seemed reasonable that I could write a subroutine that could be called

recursively to process a message's attachment(s), but that does not seem to

be possible.

Does anyone know how to process a mail item with an attached mail item that

has a file (text, doc, xls, etc.) attached to it?
 
It has to be saved to the file system as a MSG file, then opened using

Application.CreateItemFromTemplate(). Then you can process that attachment.
