I'm very new to macros and VBA code and I've been searching examples to get a
feel for the code and variable names. I'm looking to create a macro to do a
'save as' function to a '.msg' format, into My Documents. The standard 'save
as' stores it with the subject line as the file name. In addition to this, I
would like to append the 'from' name and the date/time the message was sent
at the front of the file name. Example: email from John Smith at 10:00AM
with subject Test Message would save as 'John Smith 10:00AM Test
Message.msg'. Is this doable? Is there any sample code I can review?
Thanks in advance for any insights.
