All,

When you click on an attachment in Outlook (not double-click), Outlook attempts to display a preview of the attachment. I have two questions on this one:

1) How do I install a custom attachment (pre)viewer?
2) I would like to intercept the attachment open event and display my own view of an attachment instead of the "Open", "Save", "Cancel" dialog?

Thanks!

Hi Ed,

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776867(VS.85).aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163487.aspx.

With Outlook 2007 and higher you can use the BeforeAttachmentRead, BeforeAttachmentSave, and BeforeAttachmentPreview events provided by all Outlook item types.
