New to Outlook VBA

[numen]

I want to write a routine to extract an URL from an email as it is
received, and open that URL in a browser.

I know I can get there maybe with Rules and a custom event, but I only
want to do this for the first of such messages received, so I thought the
Application.Newmail event would be more appropriate. Trouble is I can't
access the .Body of the message at this point - or can I?

Is a custom action just a Macro?

Paul.

Use ItemAdd on the Items collection of the Inbox. That passes you and
Item Object you can manipulate. It's a better event anyway, NewMail
only fires at intervals and not each time a new mail comes in.

An example of an ItemAdd handler is at
