QW5kcmV3

Hello folks,

I have an Outlook add-in Developed in Visual Studio 2008, written in VB.NET

for Outlook 2003 and 2007. A small part of its functionality is to post

emails from Outlook to a webform which currently works well in both versions.

We've however come across an issue with the attachments.

Currently, when the click the custom button to post the email. I save all

the attachments to a file and after the message is sent, I attempt the send

the attachments also. The issue is, signatures with images are being stored

as attachments also. Is there anyway to distinguish between the two types of

attachments?

Regards,
 
Do you need to strip out all the image attachments or only those used in

signatures (there is really no difference between the two)?

Re: Difference between Regular Attachments and Signature Attachmen

Hey,

Well, we don't want to upload any signature images. So I would like to know

if there's a way to detect them so that, they can be excluded from the

attachment upload.

Thanks,

Re: Difference between Regular Attachments and Signature Attachmen

No, an image is an image. The only difference is how it was added to a

message.

You can look at the HTML body and see if an image is within a _MailAutoSig

span, but that is far from being reliable.
