Outlook Redemption: Releasing RDOMail from GetMessageFromMsgFile in VBScript

Question

we use VBScript for changing EXIF data of .msg files.

We access msg files using

Set Element = Session.GetMessageFromMsgFile(msgFilePath)

It works fine, exept that the msg file gets locked, so that writing EXIF data to the file fails.

How can I release the msg file (Element), as Marshal.ReleaseComObject() doesn't work within VBScript? Setting Element=Nothing doesn't work either.

Thanks! Chris

In VB script, just setting the RDOMail object to Nothing will do the job:

set Element = Nothing
