I am using Outlook 2000 and I have an inbox folder that contains about 100
email messages. They all start with a common text string in the subject line
and in the body of the message they all contain a unique link to a web page.
I'd like to take those 100 emails and pull each link into a list of links in
another email. How can I do this without opening each email, and copying and
pasting into the new email?

Thanks,
Debbie

Honestly?

Clicking on each message and copying the text out of the reading/preview
pane is probably going to be the fastest solution.

I mean, programmatically, it's possible. But it'd take work. And, honestly
the amount of work it took to build the solution might be longer then it
would take to do it manually, so, the question becomes, how often will you
actually need to do this? Just once? Do it manually. Every week for 100+
messages, like I said, harder, but doable, but you'd want to start over in
http://www.outlookcode.com or the Outlook programming newsgroup.
