Code Sample for moving attachments from 1 rtf to another

You are correct that you have to detach the attachments form the current rtf to disk (OS), then re-embed them into the other rtf.

*Use GetFirstItem method to get handle to the 2 rtfs.
*Use the NotesEmbeddedObject ExtractFile method to save the attachment to disk.
*Then, re-attach using embedobject with the Embed_Attachment "type".

For example:
Set rtitem=doc.getfirstitem("RTF")
Forall object In rtitem.embeddedobjects
If object.type=embed_attachment Then
Call o.extractfile("C:\temp\" + o.source)
Call body.embedobject(Embed_Attachment, "", "C:\temp\" + o.source)
Kill "C:\temp\" + o.source
Call o.remove
Save=True
End If
Call doc.save

This is the best code snippet I know of:

But watch out when using the "remove" method...:

Other code snippets from an old forum (these methods haven't really changed since then):
