Determine if the message has attachments without downloading the entire message
The developer should use HasAttachments property of MailMessage to indicate if the message has attachments:
MailMessageCollection msgs = pop.DownloadMessageHeaders();
foreach (MailMessage msg in msgs)
{
if (msg.HasAttachments)
{
Console.WriteLine("Message #" + msg.IndexOnServer + " has attachment(s)");
}
}
Dim msgs As MailMessageCollection = pop.DownloadMessageHeaders()
Dim msg As MailMessage
For Each msg In msgs
if (msg.HasAttachments) Then
Console.WriteLine("Message #" + msg.IndexOnServer + " has attachment(s)")
End If
Next
Note: This property may not be 100% accurate if only the header of the message has been downloaded. The developer should download the entire message to be sure if it really has any attachments or not.
