There is no SaveAs method for a body, only for an item. If you want to save
the entire item you would use Item.SaveAs.

If you only want to save the body you have to extract it as a string and use
your favorite method of saving text to a file.

How can I extract and save ??? I tryed different things but no one
success....

If you read body into a string you've just extracted it. One way of saving a
string is to use Windows scripting. You can also use the VB file save
functions if programming in VB or the .NET file functions if programming in
a .NET language. Another approach is to use the Win32 API file system
functions.

You can run the code in Outlook but you will need to use one of the methods
I mentioned to save the text to the file system.
