Hi everyone,

I have a problem about email message format converting.
I want to write a program in VB.NET to convert the EML format email message
to MSG format, does anyone knows how to do it?
If you know it you can send me a message to ***@hotmail.com

Thanks at all.

I've trimmed the list of newsgroups to the most relevant ones.

.eml format looks like it's just MIME, so any MIME library should do
the trick; maybe .net has one, I'm not sure, but I've heard people
recommend mime++ for that sort of stuff in the past.

As for saving in .MSG format, see

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=171907

That's extended MAPI code, which doesn't really play nicely with .NET:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;872895

so you can either try wrestling with interop to pull it in, or put that
code into a DLL and call the DLL from your .NET code or somesuch. Yet
another option (though probably a nastier one) would be to parse the EML
message into chunks, use OOM code to populate a message that way, and
then tell the OOM to save the message in .MSG format. I'm not 100% sure
that's all possible, but it may be easier if you can't use C++.
