Hi everybody,

i like to drag and drop an eMail of Outlook ( Express & Xp ) and
Thunderbird into my own application ( C# ).
There'in the dropped eMail should be readed and the subject, body text,
Recepiant, ... should be displayed into textboxes.

I can check the different formats of the Drag-Event or Clipboard data.
An Outlook Express mail is stored in plaintext into the clipboard, so
it's seriously possible to extract it. But with Outlook XP Mails i see
only the name of a .eml file ( the of file which would be saved on the
Destop for example ) But how to extract the data?

Does anybody knows a solution of this problem?
Because there are so many requests into the net, but i don't find
any solution :S

Big thanks
