Michael,

Your suggestion was what I was looking for. Apparently, I haven't give the
Inspector class enough consideration.

Thanks,

I am interested in interrogating the active/current e-mail - e.g. getting
list of attached files;; parsing the content, etc.

There doesn't seem to be something like ActiveItem that is akin to
ActiveWorksheet, ActiveProject, or ActiveDocument in other MS Office
applications.

Would appreciate any guidance with this pursuit...

Have a look at ActiveInspector.CurrentItem .
