Re: extract email info
You'd need to ask on some Microsoft forum for that.

Or someone else with outlook technical expertice.

Since your question is totally unrelated to symbian, you probably will get very little help here.

Re: extract email info
You can get it through ASP, since ASP is made by Microsoft, and they ship it with a library that understands the format.

But since it is a Microsoft specific format, and MS has no interest in supporting any symbian development (since they want people to use Windows Mobile), I doubt you will find any symbian lib reading it in a simple and convenient way as you probably is used to from your ASP scripting.

You might be able to find information on how to extract only the attachement from the file, from maybe someone who has reversed engineered the format, but you'd probably have to write the parser yourself.

I don't know anything about the eml format, so I can't help you any more then that...
