I'm developing big file attachement feature using BeforeAttachmentAdd.

It works well when I attach *a* file bigger then my definition(If sum + currAttachment.Size > 3 * 1024 * 1024 Then), my BeforeAttachmentAdd event callback function catches the file and move to my external upload process, and "Cancel = True" for outlook's file attach process.

But if I add *multiple* files, total sum of them is larger then Exchange's MessageSize, Outlook shows messagebox says like "total sum is bigger then message size" and no BeforeAttachmentAdd event occurs. Maybe it seems like outlook's total attachment size validation occurs first and if the size limit over, outlook does no more process.

Do you know how to avoid or skip outlook's "Message size warning"?

Hello Byung,

At https://www.add-in-express.com/creating-addins-blog/2015/01/23/working-outlook-attachments-programmatically/#comments, we received a similar question describing a message that Outlook shows when you attach a big file (you can try to attach a 100 Mb file). Replying to that comment I wrote :

The Outlook object model doesn?Â?Ð?ét provide a way to bypass this restriction.

But I?Â?Ð?éve noticed that the dialog is shown after the AttachmentRemove event occurs on the corresponding MailItem object. I suppose you can use the event to identify this scenario; the event handler should provide the item being removed. If so, you can try to close the message box programmatically: I suppose you can study message box window attributes using Spy++, and use the attributes to identify the window and send it a message that it treats as a signal to close. Finding the window, learning such a message and sending it, are the tasks that you can try to solve using Spy++ and the Windows API.


This may or may not apply to your scenario. Still, I suggest that you use the Outlook Events Logger add-in to find more info about events that occur before you get the message box. You can use this info to detect this scenario. You download the Outlook Events Logger at https://www.add-in-express.com/creating-addins-blog/2010/07/01/outlook-events-tool/. Install the add-in, copy the source code to a location of your choice, uninstall add-in, build the project and register it.

I'm afraid this isn't possible. The point is all such cases are under the NDA automatically; see https://www.add-in-express.com/custom-development/nda.php. You can find what our customers allowed us to publish at https://www.add-in-express.com/support/customers-say.php and https://www.add-in-express.com/success-stories.php.

Ah, one more question. Do you know outlook 2016's HTMLBody throws not implemented exception?

It seems some version of 2016 throws the exception, I managed to resolve this issue with redemption.

Is there any ADX way or your comment about it?
