strip out leading text from a forwarded email.

[anonymous]

I'm hoping some of you Microsoft MVP can point me in the right direction...

Is there a way to strip leading text from an incoming email using VBA in
outlook?

I have email forwarded by a colleague at work (a mailing list) and I'd like
to strip out his forward info so the body of the email shows up.

I've done some VBA programming with Access and some minor stuff in Excel and
WRQ-reflections.

I was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction as to
how to accomplish this.

I was thinking I could run a macro on incoming mail that get's applied via a
filter.

Thanks for any suggestions!

sText As String, _

Optional ByVal bAppend As Boolean _

On Error GoTo AUSGANG

Dim lFileNr As Long

lFileNr = FreeFile

Select Case bAppend

Case False

Open sPath For Output As #lFileNr

Case Else

Open sPath For Append As #lFileNr

End Select

Print #lFileNr, sText;


If lFileNr Then

Close #lFileNr

End If

If Err.Number Then Err.Raise &H800A0000 Or Err.Number, _

Err.Source, Err.Description, Err.HelpFile, Err.HelpContext

End Sub

Hi,

hope I understand right.

What you could try is the following :

Normally, you do have some chars (e.g. >>) at the beginning of a
citation.
You could search the textlines for these characters (at the start of
each line) to differ between newer and elder text.

For example :

Hi, this is new text

Hope this will help you further
