MAPIReadMail() Not Returning Long Filenames

[Michael Visintin]

My call to a MapiReadMail() is resulting in a lpMapiFileDesc which does not
appear to handle long file names.

Does the MAPI functionality handle long filenames?

Thank you,

Michael

You may find that simple MAPI does not, at times.

Interesting definition of "easier" you have there. :-)
