Hi all

I'm having a problem sending attachments to emails using MAPI under the
Pocket PC 2003 environment. My code worked fine under Pocket PC 2002, but
in 2003 attachments don't end up being sent properly. After I send a
message and go to the Outbox of the Pocket PC Inbox, I can see and open the
attachment without any problems. However, when it's synchronised with the
POP3 server, the attachment doesn't appear to the recipient, but instead a
string such as the following:

_000_0009_01C41353.658A6B00--

is appended to the body text of the message.

However, if I open the message in the Pocket PC Inbox before it is
synchronised with the server and press Send, the attachment will be sent to
the recipient correctly the next time I synchronise with the POP3 server.
So obviously I am attaching the file correctly, I must be just missing some
new flag or property that is required. At the bottom of this post I have
attached the source of the messages once they have reached the recipient (if
that will help anyone), of one that had the attachment sent successfully
(sent from the Pocket PC Inbox), and one that didn't (sent from my program).
Please note that I have removed the headers.

I've tried comparing the following properties of the message and its
attachment without pressing Send from the Pocket PC Inbox, and with it
pressed, and they match exactly:

PR_HASATTACH
PR_MESSAGE_FLAGS

PR_ATTACH_SIZE
PR_ATTACH_METHOD
PR_MSG_STATUS

So there must be some other property that I'm not aware of that I now have
to set?

There seems to be no documentation at all on the Internet that can help me
with this problem. I was hoping someone could help me with this, because I
have spent the last couple of days on this problem and got absolutely
nowhere. Has anyone been able to send attachments successfully in Pocket PC
2003? Does anybody know what might have changed from 2002? Does anyone
have any suggestions? Any help will be very much appreciated.

Regards

Chris Anderson
