Parsing email messages

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hello,

Originally I posted this to the Windows Server Scripting and then saw
that it may be more appropriate for here. I would like to be able to
parse through some email in Exchange and update a database
accordingly. It does not necesarily have to interface directly with
Exchange, it may simply work with Outlook (we're using 2003). I
understand that this might be accomplished with a VBA macro or some
other script. Could anyone provide me with some advice? Is there an
existing macro or script that I can utilize? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Aaron

What do you mean by "parse through"? Are you searching for
something or do you want to extract the message components:
From, To, Cc, Sent (date and time), Subject, Body, Attachements?

Do you need a script that will work directly with Exchange/Outlook or
one that would "parse through" each message that you cut-and-paste
into a textarea?

Here are some links for the former:
