And EML file is the raw message as received via the Internet. The
format is described in RFC2822 (formerly RFC822)

If you do a search on RCF822, you should find utilities to process the
files

Being as OE is Simple MAPI, it supports only sending. It has no
functions for accessing any of the mail folders.
You could copy and paste the text of a message into Excel, but it
probably won't be pretty because the message won't be formatted to
Excel unless the sender as specifically formatted the body for Excel.
Do you know of any way to programatically do this?
If you also want to copy the headers, you can do that from the
Message Source (Ctrl-F3) window.
But you'll probably need to do some parsing of the data. The message
source will be the raw message as received via the Internet,
according to RFC2822.

You can also, File Save As to an EML file (includes headers) or TXT
file (message body only) if you want to get the message out of OE so
that an program can process it.

1. Could you please explain what an EML file is.
2. Do you know of any way to programatically do this?

Steve,
Thank you for responding!
I would like to select an Outlook Express email in the Inbox and
paste the message into Excel2003. Is there a MAPI function in
msoe.dll that could get the message so it could be exported to
Excel2003 or copy and pasted into Excel2003?
Thanks!
Steve

Well, there aren't very many in msoe.dll and OE is only simple MAPI
compliant.
You might take a look he

Does anyone have experince exposing the MAPI functions as found in
c:\program files\outlook express\msoe.dll by using API calls?
Thanks!
