Extracting embedded ojbects

I have an agent that checks for incoming mail. For each mail, the agent checks for any attachments or screen dumps in the body of the mail, and extracts the attachments and screen dumps to the file system.

The problem i have, is that my agent cannot see the screen dumps that are pasted into the body of the mail. I cannot get a handle on the embedded object. The attachments work fine.

Please can someone guide me as to how one gets a handle on a pasted screen dump in the body of a mail, so as to extract the screen dump to the file system?

Many Thanks

Subject: embedded object?

Do you really mean that the screen dumps are “embedded objects” or are they just text pasted into a rich text field?
