Extracting emails that are attachments to other emails

I often get emails that have 5-10 other emails attached. I always drag
those emails by hand into the same outlook folder as the parent email,
and then set a custom column of each child email to the value in the
custom column for the parent email.

Is there anyway to automate this? If not the latter, is there anyway to
just extract the child emails into the same folder as the parent email?

Outlook can't do this by itself. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=523 for a code sample that
extracts embedded messages using the third-party Redemption library.
