Which server type?


then you can choose to DL the whold message or not?


FYI For POP3 you can't really get headers only in OE.
There is a way which headers only for POP3 could be implemented
provided the server supported the TOP command but that is not always
available. However, it is thought that OE does make use of that command
in order to support a rule involving size, so if your server is POP3
you might want to experiment with rules and trace your results.

Bruce,

I noted you are a MS-MVP Outlook Express. Can you help me with this
question ...

Is there any way to programatically grab an Outlook Express 6.0 message
and get it into Excel2003?

Thanks for any help you can give me!

DL = Delete? onbox = Inbox?

Are you referring to this from Help? It is only for newsgroups. If you
delete message headers in an OE folder, you delete the message as well,
and if you didn't, you wouldn't be able to find it anyhow.

To delete a newsgroup message

Newsgroup messages are stored on a news server. In order for them to be
available for other people to read, they cannot be deleted from the
server. However, you can delete newsgroup messages or headers that have
been downloaded to your computer.

1.. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2.. On the Maintenance tab, click Clean Up Now.
3.. Click Browse, and select either a news server or a specific
newsgroup, and then click OK.
4.. To delete message bodies only for the selected item, click Remove
Messages.
-or-

To delete headers and messages for the selected item, click Delete.

News items deleted in this manner are permanently removed from your
computer.
