Syntax
<SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, ObjectModel := True)> _
<SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, ObjectModel := True)> _
Public Class SPEmailEventReceiver
Dim instance As SPEmailEventReceiver
[SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, ObjectModel = true)]
[SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, ObjectModel = true)]

Remarks

Examples
The following code example shows how to use the SPEmailEventReceiver class in an event handler that responds to e-mail messages received in a list by adding an item to the list.
This example requires using directives (Imports in Visual Basic) for the Microsoft.SharePoint and Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities namespaces.
namespace Example_Namespace
{
public class Email_Handler: SPEmailEventReceiver
{
public override void EmailReceived(
SPList oList,
SPEmailMessage oMessage,
string strReceiverData)
{
SPListItem oListItem = oList.Items.Add();
oListItem["Title"] = oMessage.Headers["Subject"];
oListItem["Body"] = oMessage.HtmlBody;
oListItem.Update();
}
}
}
Note
Certain objects implement the IDisposable interface, and you must avoid retaining these objects in memory after they are no longer needed. For information about good coding practices, see Best Practices: Using Disposable Windows SharePoint Services Objects.
