All the pieces to do that are readily available:
1)
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/zaphtml.htm for ways to work with incoming items]
2)
http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=89 for a technique to extract data from a structured text block
3) the Application.CreateItem method to create a new contact or MAPIFolder.Items.Add to add it to a non-default contacts folder (see
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/getfolder.htm for a procedure to walk the folder tree)
4)
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/propsyntax.htm for a primer on working with Outlook item properties.
All you need to do is assemble those building blocks together to fit your particular scenario.

> EXAMPLE:
> Submitted web form arrives as plain text email.
> sent to <(E-Mail Removed)>
> Submitter's name is assigned to the "Subject" of the email so:
> Full Name = "Subject"
> Other data is present in the body of the email so:
> Email1 = SubmitterEmail:
> Email2 = BrideEmail:
> Email3 = GroomEmail:
> HomePhone = SubmitterPhone:
> HomePhone2 = BridePhone:
> BusinessPhone = ChurchPhone:
> BusinessPhone2 = HallPhone:
> BusinessAddress = ChurchAddress:
> BusinessAddress2 = HallAddress:
> (Etc.)
>
> A few other things would round it out nicely:
> 1. Copy the entire body of the email to the Notes section of the
> contact form.
> 2. Assign a Category to the contact.
> 3. Save it in a special Contacts Folder.
