OL Redemption - Attachments Invisible

[Mike Vest]

Any Outlook Redemption Experts out there???
(I hear the expert hangs out at this news group.)



Using Outlook Redemption with Windows 2000, Outlook 2002 / Exchange
Server.

I use the following code to attach files to the email. I then display
the email for the user to edit and click the SEND button.

Unfortunately - the displayed email does not show the attachments. So,
the user gets concerned thinking the requested files are not attached.

Actually - the attachements are there, but the user just can't see
them. When the user presses SEND, the attachements show up in the
recpient's mailbox.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE ATTACHED FILES CANNOT BE SEEN WHEN THE EMAIL
IS DISPLAYED BEFORE SENDING.

Thanks For Your Help!!

Attached Code:
Set OL_app = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OL_item = OL_app.CreateItem(0) 'Create a new message
Set NameSpace = OL_app.GetNamespace("MAPI")
NameSpace.Logon

'Create an instance of Redemption.safeMailItem
Set safeItem = CreateObject("Redemption.safeMailItem")
safeItem.Item = OL_item 'set Item property

' add TO list to email
For i = LBound(toList) To UBound(toList)
If StrComp(toList(i), "", vbTextCompare) <> 0 Then Set safeRecip
= safeItem.Recipients.Add(toList(i))
Next i

' add CC list to email
For i = LBound(ccList) To UBound(ccList)
If StrComp(toList(i), "", vbTextCompare) <> 0 Then
Set ccRecip = safeItem.Recipients.Add(ccList(i))
ccRecip.Type = olCC
End If
Next i

' resolve distribution
safeItem.Recipients.ResolveAll

' add attachement files to email
For i = LBound(attList) To UBound(attList)
If StrComp(attList(i), "", vbTextCompare) <> 0 Then
safeItem.Attachments.Add (attList(i))
Next i

' add subject header to email
safeItem.subject = subject

' add body message to email
safeItem.Body = body_msg

safeItem.Display

Outlook cannot see any modifications made through Extended MAPi until you
dereference and reopen the message.
Since adding attachments is not blocked by the Outlook Object Model, replace
the line
safeItem.Attachments.Add (attList(i))
with
OL_item.Attachments.Add (attList(i))

My secretary will be licensing a copy asap.

I will be securing it via the suggestions on your website. If there
