I have over 100 messages where I need to change 4 text strings to the same
replacement string for each original string. Can I create a Outlook Rule or a
VB script to do this, under the Rules facility of Outlook?

You can´t create a rule but a VBA method to do the replacement. Use a For
Each loop to go through all the Items in a folder.

In OL >= XP you can search in the Item´s Body property with InStr and
replace with the Replace function. After the replacement call the Item´s
Save method.
