Retrieving information from incomming mail items.

[Jan G. Thorstensen]

I am using Outlook2k and WinXP. When a new mail arrives,
I want to get some information like the name of the sender, what is
the subject and body text?

How can I retrieve such properties from the incoming mail item?

I thought this was a good place to start...
Private Sub Application_NewMail()
....code...
End Sub

Any suggestions or code sample is very much apprieciated.


Regards
Jan.

NewMail fires only once for a bundle of messages. Instead you can use
ItemAdd, which fires for each message as long as there´re not more than 16
at once.

That event has an Item argument, which is a reference to the incoming
message. Simply read its SenderName (that´s the sender´s display name),
Subject and Body properties.

In OL 2000 there´s no way to read the Sender´s address directly. For that
you´d need CDO 1.21 or Redemption (www.dimastr.com).
