Saves the content of the attachment into the specified file.

Parameters

filename

The absolute or relative path under which to save the attachment.

overwrite

Denotes if the file must be overwritten if it already exists.

Return Value

true if the attachment was successfully saved to disk; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The developer can use SaveToFolder method to save the attachment into specified folder under the actual filename of the attachment.

Note   If overwrite is false and the file with the same filename already exists, the attachment will be saved under another name. For instance, if cat.gif is being saved and such file already exists, it will be actually saved as cat[1].gif. The developer can use SavedAs property to obtain the filename of the saved file.

Exceptions
