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.

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.
ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2822.txt

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.

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
