Programmatically Selecting Multiple Items

I want to programmatically select all of the items in a mail folder. Can this be done?
In particular, I want to automate the process I now do manually wherein I select all of
the mail items in a folder and save them to one, big, text file.
 
If you want to process all the items in the folder, why do you need to
select them all? Just iterate the folder's Items collection.

When I do this mannually, all the messages get saved to one text file with the From, To,
Date, Subject, and body data nicely organized in one giant text file. I've included a
sample below. If I perform an itteration, I'd have to save each to a temp text file and
the programatically add the contents of the temp file to the object text file. This seems
very inelegant.

Thanks Mike, but it is unlikely that I will be making it since I
committed to some volunteer activities this weekend and have to go to
NH.

By the way, the only way I would feel out of place is if there was no
beer!

Have fun!
 
Inelegant it may be, but that's the correct technique.

Thanks for you help. When I attempt to save each MailItem, a dialog box appears asking me
if I want to allow access to the item. How do I disable this from happening?
 
See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sec.htm for your options with regard to the
"object model guard" security in Outlook 2000 SP2 and later versions.
