Is it possible to navigate to an email located at c:\sampleEmail.msg
using vb6 or vb.net to read the contents of the Subject and Body for
the purpose of searching?

Thanks,

Elliot Semmelman
 
Or since you want only the subject and body, you can use Application.CreateItemFromTemplate to make a copy of the file as a new message.

Thank you. It's exactly what I needed.

May I ask a similar question please ...

I have an existing C++ program that reads EML message files saved from
Outlook Express and files them according to their "from" / "to", and
subject, and date/time of message.

I'd like to extend this to handle MSG files saved from Outlook 2003. I
haven't been able to track down any documentation that deals with how to
read an MSG file to find this basic information. I'd need: subject, from,
to, date and time.

Any pointers to documentation and/or APIs? Although this program is in C++,
I'm happy with descriptions or API source code in any language. (Preferred
environments for source code would be C++, Java, Pascal or VB, as I already
have development environments for those set up.)

Many thanks, Regards, Dave S
