Hi there,
I can use the code below to get the view of emails with attachments:

C#

Outlook.Folder control.Context;
string query ="urn:schemas:httpmail:hasattachment = 1";
oFolder.CurrentView.Filter = query;
oFolder.CurrentView.Apply();

How can I output the emails in the view to Outlook.Items?

I tried it below. I can get all Unread items:

C#

Outlook.Items emails  = oFolder.Items;
emails  =emails.Restrict("[Unread]=true")

How can I use Restrict to filter emails with attachments out in Outlook?

Thanks in advance.

As far as i remember, hasattachments is that what you're looking for.

I'd suggest to read this:

Thanks, Maciej. hasattachments is the keyword in Search Contextual Tab as you mentioned in Better Searching in Outlook 2010. My question is how can I implement it in C# using Restrict as I did for Unread above?

Finally solved: GetTable from table view, then use EntryID in the table to get mailitem through:
ThisAddIn.currentExporer.Session.GetItemFromID(nextRow["EntryID"]);
