The part of the formula that is currently failing is this:
instr(1,[Message],"Instance ID:",1)

It's supposed to return the postion of the string "Instance ID:".

It does work for all messages received, but if the message has been replied
to it doesn't seem to find the occurence of "Instance ID:" in the body of the
original message.

eg. using instr function on the message below does not find the string ..
Subject: RE: blah blah
