EWS, Attach a file to a new message

Hello,

I currently can create a mail item via Echange Web Services.

I am wondering how to attach a file to the new mail message before it is
sent.

While creating the message, can I create a FileAttachmentType and set it to
the MessageType's Attachments property?

I'm thinking not, since I get an error message when trying to Create the new
mail request item, and the error is in regards to the attachments.

Do I first create the attachment, attached to nothing, and then attach it to
the new message?

Thanks,

Eric

Would I take the traditional approach of creating a draft email, getting the
id, and attaching the file to the draft item, and then moving it to the sent
folder?

There are a couple of methods you could use you can do it with one action
but posting the MIME stream of the whole message you want to send or use the
Drafts method. I posted something a while ago that might help
