    Hi

    How can I copy a Mail direct from outlook to tcl with tkdnd.

    If I copy the EMail from outlook to the filesystem and from the
    filesystem to tcl/tk it works. I get the filename an I can work with the filename in tcl.

    But if I copy from outlook to tcl/tk it doesn't work. I don't get any filename.

    I found this :
    FileGroupDescriptor - FileContents: These two types are used for transfering a set of files that do not appear physically on disk,
    like files from compressed folders or Outlook e-mail messages. File
    names are transfered as in the CF_TEXT type, while file contents are transfered in binary. Tkdnd retrieves both the file names and the file contents, and saves then in a temporary directory. When the transfer is complete, the file names of the saved files in the temporary folder
    are returned. Note that tkdnd support this type pair only as drop
    targets and not as drag sources.

    How can I copy the Mail to tcl?

    regards

    Manfred
