Thanks for the reply, Mark.
I did a "copy" from Outlook, and then run dump_clipboard. Here's what comes up:
Dumping all clipboard formats...
Clipboard format 49161
-> got 4 bytes via HGLOBAL
-> got 4 bytes via IStream
Clipboard format 49955

, in DumpClipboard
medium = do.GetData(fetc_query)
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147024882, 'Not enough storage is available to complete
this operation.', None, None)
Now, if I drag a message from Outlook and drop it onto a wxpython application
and then run dump_clipboard.py. Here's what I got:

Does that give you any hints?

I'm not sure what you mean by CF_HDROP not being recognized - it works for me.
Using Windows Explorer, select a file and "copy" it to the clipboard. Then
run
the following script:
import win32clipboard, win32con
win32clipboard.OpenClipboard()
try:
got = win32clipboard.GetClipboardData(win32con.CF_HDROP)
print got
finally:
win32clipboard.CloseClipboard()
You should get back a tuple listing the filenames on the clipboard. I'm not
sure what outlook does here, but you may also like to copy the outlook object
to the clipboard and run the win32com/demos/dump_clipboard.py script to see
what can be found.
HTH,
Mark
