VB Macro fails on Digitally Signed Emails

[Guest]

Hi All, my VB macro in Outlook fails while accessing the body of digitally
signed emails. The following line,

mystring = MailItem.Body

fails giving error pop-up saying "Run-time error '-1040171007 (c2004001)':
The operation failed"

Can somebody pl give me a clue how to get around this ? thanks a bunch !

You cannot read signed messages from Body it will return an error. Check the
message class of the item and if it's a signed or encrypted message skip it.

Thanks Ken ! for replying back. I am using this Outlook VB code to load the
body of emails from our customers into our CRM application. Is there no way I
can get to the body of the digitally signed emails ? thanks..

Not from the Body or any of the other standard methods.

What you want is actually an attachment on the item. See
http://www.tech-archive.net/Archive....win32.programmer.messaging/2005-01/0180.html
for a little more information about that.

Also see http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=194623 for information about
detecting signed/encrypted information. It's a CDO 1.21 article but applies
to the Outlook object model also.
