          I'm using MailBee.NET Objects and, in particular, Imap, to loop through messages in a custom mailbox.  When I look at these messages in my Outlook (2010) client, or through webmail (again, on Exchange 2010), these messages show up with a text file attachment.  But when I loop through msg collection using the Imap object, the HasAttachments property is always false.

 I'm using C#/4.0/VS2010. I've set a breakpoint in my code so I can inspect the MailMessage object as I'm looping through them.  The individual msg has a content type of "multipart/report", but I don't seem to see how to get the text from any of the "parts"...?
 
 Basically, I need to get to the text in that attachment, so any advise would be greatly appreciated.

          Here's some more specifics:

 Assembly version: 7.2.4.366.
 
 For testing purposes, I call DownloadEntireMessage method to download the first message in the mailbox.  Let's say that's saved to a MailMessage variable called "msg".
 
 
 1) msg.MimePartTree.GetAllParts().Count --> returns 3
 
 2) msg.MimePartTree.GetAllParts()[0] matches msg.RawHeader
 
 3) msg.MimePartTree.GetAllParts()[1] matches msg.BodyPlainText
 
 4) When I dump out msg.MimePartTree.GetAllParts()[2], I really don't get anything of use at all.  The only properties with any values of interest are:
 
 ContentType: "text/plain"
 RawHeader: "Content-Type: text/plain\r\n\r\n"
 
 5) I can call the msg.SaveMessage method and save the message to a .eml file.  When I open that .eml file in Notepad, I can confirm the 3 "parts" where the first is the message headers, the second is the body, and the 3rd is the text that I see as an "attachment" in Outlook, but don't seem to be able to get at using code...

          If you iterate through MimePartTree and Attachments collections, are you getting non-zero number of elements in either of those two?

          I'm not entirely sure if this is what you mean, but..

 1) msg.Attachments.Count returns 0 (zero).
 
 When I loop through the MimePartTree array, I don't see any Attachment property whatsoever... here's what is returned from the last element in that array (which, as far as I can discern, is what I'm after):
 
 msg.MimePartTree.GetAllParts()[2]
 {MailBee.Mime.MimePart}
 Boundary: ""
 Charset: ""
 ContentID: ""
 ContentLocation: ""
 ContentType: "text/plain"
 Description: ""
 Disposition: ""
 Filename: ""
 Headers: {MailBee.Mime.HeaderCollection}
 IsComplete: true
 IsFile: false
 IsInline: true
 IsMessageInside: false
 IsRelated: false
 MailEncodingOriginal: ""
 Name: ""
 PartType: PlainText
 RawHeader: "Content-Type: text/plain\r\n\r\n"
 Size: 1277
 SubParts: null

          My mistake, sorry. I meant BodyParts collection rather than MimePartTree. It can be iterated as shown here.

          Yes!  The test message I've been using has 2 elements in the BodyParts collection.  The last one appears to contain the text that otherwise shows up as an attachment in Outlook.
