Count the Attachments in an Email
See more Email Object Examples
Demonstrates the read-only Chilkat Email.NumAttachments property, which is the number of ordinary attachments in the email. Attachment indexes are zero-based. Related resources inside a multipart/related enclosure are counted separately by NumRelatedItems, and embedded message/rfc822 emails by NumAttachedMessages. This example adds two attachments and prints the count.
Background: An "attachment" is a MIME part meant to be saved or opened as a separate file, as opposed to being displayed as the message body. Chilkat decides whether a part is an attachment by weighing its MIME structure, content type, and
Content-Disposition together — so a part can count as an attachment even without an explicit Content-Disposition: attachment header. Note that if an email was downloaded from an IMAP server without its attachment data, this property reflects only what is actually present in the object.Chilkat Delphi DLL Downloads
