Count the Attached Messages in an Email

See more Email Object Examples

Demonstrates the read-only Chilkat Email.NumAttachedMessages property, which is the number of embedded emails represented by message/rfc822 MIME parts. These are counted separately from ordinary attachments and related items, and their indexes are zero-based. This example builds an inner email, attaches it to an outer email as a nested message, and prints the count.
