Make the body of any email (ie. newsletters, press release's, etc) in your Outlook 2003 client putty in your hands with this C# code (sorry had to do a screenshot):

Don't forget to add a reference to Micorsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook. "Done" is a subfolder i created under the default inbox in my Outlook to hold emails that have been processed by my scraper. When you run this app you will get a security MessageBox in Outlook asking you to grant permission:

The box can be avoided using Outlook Redemption (which does work, I have used it) or you can do what I do, and just manually run the app and allow access for 10 minutes. Happy mail scraping!
