PR_HASATTACH tells you whether the message has an attachment. Then, you'll have to fetch the attachment table for the message, and fetch the data from that. You may need to do some reading about this. You can fetch the PR_MESSAGE_ATTACHMENTS property to get the table, it is of type IMAPITable, not IStream. You then have to enumerate those, and fetch the PR_ATTACH_DATA_BIN property for the attachment you want.
