Command-line utility to attach attachments to Outlook.msg file

[Jackv]

Hello,

I am trying to find if there are any utilities (preferabl
command-line for scripting) that can manually attach a file to a
Outlook .msg file.

The quick background is that email archive software has been archivin
our exchange email. It strips out the attachments, saves the .msg an
attachments in separate zip files on the archive server, and replace
the email with a stub. The problem is that users have been filin
those emails into our document management system, which does no
recognize the stub and cannot open the email.

I've written a database script that can identify the location of th
original .msg files and attachments based on the stub, and copy th
email back in place of the stub, but I also need to re-attach th
original attachments (which I can also locate).

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

I think you'll get faster help in the program_vba group, where the developer
experts hang out. If its not carried on the server you are using to access
these groups, try
