Messages are often encoded in MIME format:

You can use CDO for Exchange 2000 (CDOEX), load the eml into a CDO.Message
object, then you can access the message attachments directly.

Dim strm As ADODB.Stream
Dim myMail As New CDO.Message
strm = myMail.GetStream()
strm.Type = ADODB.StreamTypeEnum.adTypeText
strm.LoadFromFile("c:\file.eml")
strm.Flush()
Dim attach As IBodyPart
For Each attach In myMail.Attachments
MsgBox(attach.FileName)
Next
