Re: The structure of Outlook Express Message Files

I can't directly answer your question because we don't even allow Outlook or Outlook Express (OE)
to even be installed on any machine.

But it sounds like you have already found a mechanism to obtain the raw eMails out of 
OE. Depending on the mechanism, you should be able to use the TidMessage's 
LoadFromStream() or LoadFromFile() methods. 

Just make sure that OE keeps the standard eMail termination string at the end of the 
eMail or you'll get timeout errors.

One the eMail is in TidMessage, you can easily export the data any way you want - to a 
table, a text file, etc., and you will be able to use all of the built in properties like To, 
From, Subject, Attachments, etc.

You might want to search the Indy groups - someone might already have doen some of 
this.

Hope this helps a little. If you have more questions, feel free to ask.
