Code not moving through messages

[PJFry]

The code below archives my messages into a local folder. What I want to do
is to have each message stamped with an 'Archived' noted so I know it has
already been done and have the code skip that message.

The problem I am having is that the 'Archived to" string is only inserted
into the message body that I have selected when I exectute the code. If I
have no messages select, none of them are altered.

The messages save ok, but what am I missing that keeps the itm.Body from
being updated?

Sub SaveMessages()

Dim OL As Application
Dim NmeSpace As NameSpace
Dim SubTxt As String

Set OL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set NmeSpace = OL.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set Inbx = NmeSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set fldr = Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder
DirName = "C:\Documents and Settings\PJFry\Email\"

For Each itm In fldr.Items

SubTxt = itm.Subject
SubTxt = Replace(SubTxt, "_", "")
SubTxt = Replace(SubTxt, "´", "'")
SubTxt = Replace(SubTxt, "`", "'")
SubTxt = Replace(SubTxt, "{", "(")
SubTxt = Replace(SubTxt, "[", "(")
SubTxt = Replace(SubTxt, "]", ")")
SubTxt = Replace(SubTxt, "}", ")")
SubTxt = Replace(SubTxt, "/", "-")
SubTxt = Replace(SubTxt, "\", "-")
SubTxt = Replace(SubTxt, ":", "")
SubTxt = Replace(SubTxt, ",", "")
'Cut out invalid signs.
SubTxt = Replace(SubTxt, "*", "'")
SubTxt = Replace(SubTxt, "?", "")
SubTxt = Replace(SubTxt, """", "'")
SubTxt = Replace(SubTxt, "<", "")
SubTxt = Replace(SubTxt, ">", "")
SubTxt = Replace(SubTxt, "|", "")


FNme = DirName & Trim(SubTxt) & " " & Format(itm.ReceivedTime,
"yy.mm.dd") & " " & itm.SenderName & ".msg"

If itm.Class = olMail Then
If InStr(1, itm.Body, "Archived to") > 0 Then
'do nothing
Else
itm.Body = itm.Body & vbCrLf & _
"Archived to " & DirName & " on " & Now()
itm.SaveAs FNme, olMSG
End If
End If


Next itm


End Sub


If there is a better way to accomplish the same thing, I would also love to
hear it.

Thanks!

You never call itm.Save
Are you sure you want to modify &all* the messages in the Inbox folder
convertign them to plain text in the mean time?
Why not use Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection collection to give the user
more control over which messages get modified?

You're not saving the item after you change the Body. You're only saving the
archived copy.

FWIW, I see nothing in the code you posted that deals with selected items.
