Incoming email settings
Hi. we are using MOSS2007. i have set a document library with incoming email settings. i dont see email body in the document library. it only shows the attachments and to,from,cc, subject and titles. is there a way that i could actually get the email body message as well in to the document library? i appreciate your help.

I don't have a system in front of me to test, but if you modify the view, you cannot add the body column? SergeSerge

Hi , When configuring incomming email setting in a document library, you have the ability to save only attachements or attachements and the original message. If you select to save the original message, the body of the email will be saved in another file in the document library. So you will have differents files for the same email (attachements and the original email). So i think that the best thing to do is also to choose to create a folder for each new email. so you will have all your email files organized into a folder. If you want to add the email body in a library column i think that is possible to do it this way : create a new column in your library called body Create an event receiver that is triggered when a new folder is created Read the email message .eml and extract the email body update all items in the new folder by setting the "body column value" to the extracted email body If it does not work with event receiver, you can try to do it using a custom workflow .

challouf, thanks for your input. i created the SPEmailEventreceiver on a Sharepoint list not the doc library. i was able to get the email in to the list and its attachments as well in to the sharepoint custom list. but i was not able to get the images that are used in the Email. we use Lotus Notes for emails in our organisation. Users can actually copy and paste images in their email body. i was able to read everything, but i am not able to get the Images that have been used in the email into the sharepoint list. do you know how to achieve this? i appreciate your help

Hi Challouf, thanks for your time. here is a sample for email body just like a normal email only, but with the images pasted in the body Hi Keith, please forward this pic to the announcement department. Thanks & Regards Rogers. Now, the sharepoint custom list item would only have the text of the email body but not the image as follows Hi Keith, please forward this pic to the announcement department. Thanks & Regards. Rogers. i will try the approach you have suggested me. i have also posted the same question with the code at the following url http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointdevelopment/thread/04395532-c47c-4ff6-9804-c9f4bb62cde9 i appreciate your help.
