Remove All Attached Messages from an Email
See more Email Object Examples
Demonstrates the Chilkat Email.RemoveAttachedMessages method, which removes all message/rfc822 sub-parts (attached emails) from the object at once. Ordinary file attachments and related HTML resources are left unchanged. This example attaches two emails, removes them all, and prints the count before and after.
Background: This is the "remove them all" companion to
RemoveAttachedMessage. Because it touches only the nested-message parts, you can strip forwarded originals or a digest's members while preserving the message body, its inline images, and any regular attachments — a clean way to keep the carrier message while discarding what it enclosed.Chilkat VB.NET Downloads
