I am trying to extract the date so I can get around the problem of MSG files getting the current time stamp when saved to the file system. I have looked at the MSG files with Wordpad and there is a lot of binary stuff at the beginning, but then what I want looks approximately like this:

R e c e i v e d d a t e : J u n 5 , 2 0 0 1

So what I want to do is retrieve that info and use it to set the MSG file created and modified date. I found an excel macro that does the latter part, but I still need to figure out the first part.

Of course the easy answer would be to buy an archiving program like mail2file, but our IT department doesn't allow us to buy our own software, no matter how cheap and useful <rolleyes>.
