Anyway, once you have the mail in memory you can apply both string searches and regular expressions. If you code a string literal, remember you need to double up backslashes (a syntax issue). > UNC path and copy the contents to a local folder. win32all (which you need to interface to Outlook) should also let you use UNC paths, I believe.
