Outlook - searching a folder using regular expressions?

[JZC]

Hi,

I've been thumping away at Google all day long trying to find some
tool that will let me run a RegExp search on my PST folders, but I
can't find anything.

I want to test some expressions I'm about to load onto Exchange for
spam filtering to check for false positives (I have a 17,000 email
spam corpus to query against).

I've tried exporting the message to MDB format and searching this way,
but, I mean, seriously, it's too much work.

Is there a GUI tool out there that will do this? Or is it possible
using Outlook 2003 or other versions of Outlook?

Any alternate suggestions are appreciated.

TIA
-s

You might check the features of some of the Outlook search tools listed at
http://www.slipstick.com/addins/search.htm . I haven't evaluated any for
regex functionality.
