Yes, this is what I was referring to ... the IconType enumeration.

As indicated in my previous messages, I have no file ... all I have at 
the point where I need the icon is the MIME type as given in the email 
"Content-Type" header. There is no way of knowing in advance whether or 
not this file has an associated icon until I decode the base64 (usually 
it is in this format) and save it as an actual file on the user's 
machine. I'd rather not have to do that unless the user wanted to save it.
