I am looking for some sample code to be used in a visual basic studio express
edition application.
I have an application which will rely on specific mail messages being
received in Outlook 2003 and being read into a database in SQL Server and
then analysed to replay the actions of a remote user while they try an online
game developed by me.

I foresee the application asking the user which of the mail messages to
process and then optionally replaying the content in a simulator of the real
game or storing the data for later replay.

So the sample I am looking for is a simple slect and open a mail message.

Does anyone know where to look for it.
 
You cannot programmatically select a message in an explorer (you can *read*
the selection using Explorer.Selection colletion).
To programmatically access a message in Outlook, it does not have to be
selected first.
