I tried the Misc | OpenIMsgOnIStg and the same behavior found.
I need to read these properties:
1. PR_ATTACH_LONG_FILENAME_W,
2. PR_ATTACH_FILENAME_W
3. PR_DISPLAY_NAME
4. PR_ATTACH_SIZE
In OutlookSpy->IMessage->FetAttachmentTable(), Number of Rows displays the
correct number, but names of attachments are: (Row # 0, Row # 1, ...), and
property tags exist are just(PR_ATTACH_METHOD, PR_ATTACH_MIME_TAG_W,
PR_ATTACH_NUM, PR_RECORD_KEY, PR_RENDERING_POSITION).

Another note that when the message exists in Outlook, and you view the
message, the attachments displayed as(name(size)), but if the MSG saved out
of Outlook, the attachments displayed as (name)... no size displayed, any way
I don't know how Outlook gets the attachment names.

Any ideas how can I get the attachment names and sizes of a saved MSG file?
Waiting for respond...

Thanks.
