Including the date in the subject and saving as msg in specific folder

[juliocba]

Is it possible to write a macro to copy the date I received the message, paste this date into the subject and save the message in a specific directory as .msg (no unicode)?

Try this untested code.


Sub SaveAsSubjectRecTimeMsg()

Dim selectedEmail As MailItem
Dim emailsub As String

Set selectedEmail = ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(1)

emailsub = GetValidName(selectedEmail.subject & selectedEmail.ReceivedTime)

With selectedEmail
.SaveAs "C:\direcotry\folder\" & emailsub & ".msg", olSaveAsType.olMSG
End With

End Sub

Function GetValidName(sSub As String) As String

Dim sTemp As String

sTemp = sSub

sTemp = Replace(sTemp, "\", "")
sTemp = Replace(sTemp, "/", "")
sTemp = Replace(sTemp, ":", "")
sTemp = Replace(sTemp, "*", "")
sTemp = Replace(sTemp, """", "")
sTemp = Replace(sTemp, "<", "")
sTemp = Replace(sTemp, ">", "")
sTemp = Replace(sTemp, "|", "")

GetValidName = sTemp
End Function

Thanks! It works well.

Thanks! It works well.
I had some problems because the "?" was missing in the function. I included it (sTemp = Replace(sTemp, "?", "") and it's ok now.
