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.GetStrea m()
strm.Type = ADODB.StreamTyp eEnum.adTypeTex t
strm.LoadFromFi le("c:\file.eml ")
strm.Flush()
Dim attach As IBodyPart
For Each attach In myMail.Attachme nts
MsgBox(attach.F ileName)
Next
