How to get whole email (with attachment) as binary file

[former_member683718]

Hello experts,

I have requirement, when processing email, to save the email as attachment to sales order.

I need to save the whole email as file *.msg, like you can do from Outlook (fro message, then File -> Save As), then the message would be saved as file on local drive, which you can attach to the sales order in Services for Object (BDS).

I would like to add attachment by calling BAPI.

I can add attachment using this blog: https://blogs.sap.com/2007/06/27/bsphow-to-create-attachment-in-business-transactions/

My problem is, that I dont see method that would return the whole email (with subject, body, attachments) as *.msg bytes variable. I can get Body, Subject, from and to, and attachments separately.

Could you please advise the way to achieve that? I would like to avoid using SAP GUI capture and stay with BAPIs only.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, there is no method in the Outlook library allowing the save of whole email.
