There does not seem to be a way to get at the attachment. The Outlook behaves the same way with all attachments that I've tested, regardless of file type. Since I am unfamiliar with Microsoft Outlook, I'm uncertain if this is caused by some sort of security setting to be found someplace in Outlook or another related Microsoft application.
What I am really trying to do is select a large number of documents in a database and then print all the documents plus their attachments to a .PDF file or any generic file format. Since Notes/Domino does not provide a way to do this directly, it seems that there would be many users out there who would need to do this. I think that not only I, but indeed the whole SearchDomino.com community would find a resolutions to this Notes/Domino limitation to be a very helpful and useful enhancement.

I think the problem is caused by Outlook Express itself. One of the security settings is to remove files that may cause security concerns, good old Microsoft thinking for you as always. The setting to fix this is in Tools/Options, security tab virus protection section and untick the option 'Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus'

******************************************
I disabled the security setting so that the file attachments are now accessible in Outlook Express. However, the fundamental problem remains in that I cannot find a way to print a massive quantity of documents, plus their attachments, so it appears I have traded a Notes/Domino limitation for a MS-Outlook Express limitation.

I was looking at the code that the author sent you. I noticed that there are three lines missing in the print. When I pasted in the code; the lines below in bold appeared, yet they are not in his article code. Any Idea what this horizondmsave.exe is?

This code relates to a document management system. The code allows us to launch into it directly. As this was not necessary, I took it out of the original example.

When I try to run the code provided, I receive an error message that says, "Cannot locate Form: MIMEConvert". Do you know how I should go about solving this? Also, do you know if it is possible to open the emails on another computer by installing Lotus Notes if I save my inbox as an .nsf file?
—Mavis H.
******************************************
This form has just two fields. The first is MimeRichTextField. This should be set to store contents as HTML and MIME, and is also a RichTextField -- which is also editable. The second field is called HtmlText, and is also an editable RichText field. Let it be known that this is a standard Lotus Notes Richtext field. The form should be called MimeConvert and created in the mail file or mail file template. This form should be designed in the mail database or template.
As for part 2 of his query, yes, you can copy a mail database and open it on another computer so long as the user ID is copied across as well.
Some suggestions might be to output the file named with Sender name and subject, or to change this line in code:

If I were to save the email content and attachment to an .EML file, can it be read by the Lotus Notes client?
—A.R.
******************************************
Unfortunately, the answer to your question is no. Lotus Notes will not be able to read these files unless they were presented as IMAP4, POP3 or native Lotus Notes format and I could not find out how to export individual mail items in Lotus Notes format.

I'm trying to run the agent and I keep receiving the same error message mentioned in the user comments: "Cannot locate Form:
MIMEConvert."
While I have access to create agents, it would appear that I am not able to create/update forms. Is there a way to modify this script to run without an additional form?
—Todd B.
******************************************
Sorry, unfortunately I have not looked into this. The nice thing about the form is that it does the clever stuff in converting Richtext field to MIME. What you inquire about may be possible, but I think you are looking to pay for that type of tool and it requires some C programming.
