Printing multiple e-mails with multiple attachments in consequitive order.

I need to be able to print out multiple e-mails (which have multiple attachments of various types) in consequitive order out of Outlook 2003.
i.e. (1) E-mail no.1 (2) attachment no.1(word) to e-mail no.1 (3) attachment no.2(excel) to e-mail no.1 (4) E-mail no.2 (5) attachment no.1(pdf) to e-mail no.3 (6) attachment no.2(bmp) to e-mail no.2

Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi jrctl,

I can modify the code from this question (https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21473712/Printing-Emails-and-Attachments-at-the-same-time-when-e-mail-is-in-HTML-format.html) to do this.  Is that what you're looking for?

Cheers!

Hi again.

Hmmm maybe. I have a viewer that we possibly could use "C:\Program Files\Interwoven\WorkSite\view32.exe" that allows us to to view doc types. The problem with this app is that each document needs to be active in it in order to print out. i.e. you cannot select a range of documents and print the whole range.

Thanks.
Let me know how you want to proceed and we'll take it from there.
Hi, jrctl.

Any progress?

No, not as yet. I don't seem to be getting anywhere. The problem is if we set the viewer to be the deafult application it still doesn't get around the printing in order issue. We could try the viewer but I think that it will only solve one of the issues.
What about modifying the code to the question I linked to?

That was my original question as well! Yes, this could work but if only you can ensure the timing of the file openings. As it stands, your script converts all HTML e-mails to rich text and then prints of the e-mails with their linked attachments - which is great. The problem with this, however, is that there does not seem to be any mechanism to ensure that all attachments to   e-mail no.1 are printed out in order before e-mail no. 2 and it's attachments are printed out. If you can solve this then great!!!
I pretty sure I can make it work that way.  I'll test to make sure and get back to you.
