Outlook Email drag and drop

YYZ
Problem: I need to allow my users to drag an email out of Outlook and
drop it on a winform -- from there, I need to get the text of that
email (not just the sender and subject) -- from there I'll save it
myself in a database. This is to allow them to track all the
correspondance that happens between themselves and a customer.

I've found code examples of how to do this with an ATTACHMENT out of
Outlook, but not the email message itself (even though several
solutions claim to do that, they don't -- they just ignore messages and
work great on attachments).

Can anyone point me to where I might find such a code snippet?

I've tried the soluction posted here:
http://codeproject.com/csharp/TestEmailDragDrop.asp

That works great for attachments, but doesn't work at all for the full
email.

Note -- I don't care about email WITH attachments...unless they drag
the attachment over manually, we aren't going to capture that, only the
body text of the email -- in either text, rich text, or html format.
