          Hi,

 |  My software component shall handle eml files which might include
 inside Outlook tasks (i.e. the origin email was created using Outlook, then some server processed it and converted to eml), can I extract the task from a MailMessage object? what other options do I have to read the task information?
 
 Cheers,
 Yonatan

          MailBee.NET Objects would certainly allow for getting that attachment, and getting it out of winmail.dat container if necessary, but will not parse it. The only way of parsing tasks natively supported by the product is to retrieve those from PST file using PST reader, you're going to get an instance of PstTask class that way.

          However, if those items are actually of iCal-compliant format, you should be able to parse those with MailBee.NET ICalVCard library. Documentation on using it is found here.
