Creates a Transport-Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF) object that can be used to encode or decode a message object into a TNEF data stream for use by transports or gateways and message stores. This is the entry point for TNEF access.

Property Value
Header file:
Tnef.h
Implemented by:
MAPI
Called by:
Transport providers 
HRESULT OpenTnefStreamEx(
  LPVOID lpvSupport,
  LPSTREAM lpStream,
  LPSTR lpszStreamName,
  ULONG ulFlags,
  LPMESSAGE lpMessage,
  WORD wKeyVal,
  LPADDRESSBOOK lpAddressBook,
  LPITNEF FAR * lppTNEF
);

Parameters

lpvSupport

[in] Passes a support object, or passes in NULL. If NULL, the lpAddressBook parameter should be non-null.

lpStream

[in] Pointer to a storage stream object, such as an OLE IStream interface, providing a source or destination for a TNEF stream message.

lpszStreamName

[in] Pointer to the name of the data stream that the TNEF object uses. If the caller has set the TNEF_ENCODE flag ( ulFlags parameter) in its call to OpenTnefStream, the lpszName parameter must specify a non-null pointer to a non-null string consisting of any characters considered valid for naming a file. MAPI does not allow string names including the characters "[", "]", or ":", even if the file system permits their use. The size of the string passed for the lpszName parameter must not exceed the value of MAX_PATH, the maximum length of a string that contains a path name.

ulFlags

[in] Bitmask of flags used to indicate the mode of the function. The following flags can be set:

TNEF_BEST_DATA

All possible properties are mapped into their down-level attributes, but when there is a possible data loss due to the conversion to a down-level attribute, the property is also encoded in the encapsulations. Note that this will cause the duplication of information in the TNEF stream. TNEF_BEST_DATA is the default if no other modes are specified.

TNEF_COMPATIBILITY

Provides backward compatibility with older client applications. TNEF streams encoded with this flag will map all possible properties into their corresponding down-level attribute. This mode also causes the defaulting of some properties that are required by down-level clients.

Caution

This flag is obsolete and should not be used.

TNEF_DECODE

The TNEF object on the indicated stream is opened with read-only access. The transport provider must set this flag if the function is to initialize the object for subsequent decoding.

TNEF_ENCODE

The TNEF object on the indicated stream is opened for read/write permission. The transport provider must set this flag if the function is to initialize the object for subsequent encoding.

TNEF_PURE

Encodes all properties into the MAPI encapsulation blocks. Therefore, a "pure" TNEF file will consist of, at most, the attributes attMAPIProps, attAttachment, attRenddata, and attRecipTable. This mode is ideal for use when no backward compatibility is required.

lpMessage

[in] Pointer to a message object as a destination for a decoded message with attachments or a source for an encoded message with attachments. Any properties of a destination message can be overwritten by the properties of an encoded message.

wKeyVal

[in] A search key that the TNEF object uses to match attachments to the text tags inserted in the message text. This value should be relatively unique across messages.

lpAddressBook

[in] Pointer to an address book object used to get addressing information for entry identifiers.

lppTNEF

[out] Pointer to the new TNEF object.

Return value

S_OK

The call succeeded and has returned the expected value or values.

Remarks

The OpenTnefStreamEx function is the recommended replacement for OpenTnefStream, the original entry point for TNEF access.

A TNEF object created by the OpenTnefStreamEx function later calls the OLE method IUnknown::AddRef to add references for the support object, the stream object, and the message object. The transport provider can release the references for all three objects with a single call to the OLE method IUnknown::Release on the TNEF object.

OpenTnefStreamEx allocates and initializes a TNEF object for the provider to use in encoding a MAPI message into a TNEF stream message. Alternatively, this function can set up the object for the provider to use in subsequent calls to ITnef::ExtractProps to decode a TNEF stream message into a MAPI message. To free the TNEF object and close the session, the transport provider must call the inherited IUnknown::Release method on the object.

The base value for the wKeyVal parameter must not be zero and should not be the same for every call to OpenTnefStreamEx. Instead, use random numbers based on the system time from the run-time library's random number generator.

LoadFromTNEF
MFCMAPI uses the OpenTnefStreamEx method to open a stream on the TNEF file so properties may be extracted.
