I've noticed that when I try and pull a .msg or .eml file as an attachment from a message, it isn't saving the attachment as it does with any other type of file. Is there something special I need to set for these file types?

This is because .msg or .eml attachments often missing the filename. In your code, you should check if the filename is not empty first:
Code:
' Assume Attach is MailBee.Attachment object
If Attach.Filename = "" Then
Attach.SaveFile "C:\Temp", "noname.eml"
Else
Attach.SaveFile "C:\Temp"
End If

Really? How would it not have a filename? I've always seen them with the subject as the filename. I will try that though.

When forwarded email has no filename, Outlook uses this mail's subject + ".eml" to generate a filename.

I tried to check the filename, but when I changed my code from this:
oMsg.Attachments(1).SaveFile(FilePath)
to this:
If oMsg.Attachments(1).Filename = "" Then &n bsp; &n bsp; &n bsp;
oMsg.Attachments(1).SaveFile(FilePath), "noname.eml"
Else &n bsp; &n bsp; &n bsp;
oMsg.Attachments(1).SaveFile(FilePath)
End If
But it won't compule with the , "noname.eml" added on, displaying a message saying "end of statement expected". What needs to change?

You should replace this:
oMsg.Attachments(1).SaveFile(FilePath), "noname.eml"
with this:
oMsg.Attachments(1).SaveFile FilePath, "noname.eml"

Hi,
I also have the same problem.
attachment filename returns empty. the HasAttchment is true and the Count is 1.
When I ask for the Attachmnet.Content it returns the attachment's content with headers:
Content-Type:application/octet-stream;name="0219_20061221.cs v"
Content-Transfer-Encoding:base64
content-Disposition:inline;filename="0219_2001221.csv"
Content-MD5:NEMIP
How can I get the filename? And save the file? I need to save the file on disk with the name it has on the email.
Thank you

We created a test message with headers you provided and got the filename of the attachment via MailBee Objects successfully.
Could you please provide us with the full message (as .eml file) which causes the issue? You can send it to support@afterlogic.com.
Best regards,
Andrew
