    Re: Macro to copy subject line

    try like
    Code:
    Dim m As MailItem
    Set m = ActiveExplorer.Selection(1)
    s = m.Subject
    f = m.SenderName
    Set m = m.Reply
    e = m.Recipients(1).Name
    m.Close olDiscard
    
    Set cb = CreateObject("clipbrd.clipboard")
    cb.Clear
    cb.settext s & vbNewLine & f & "[" & e & "]"
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    First of all thank alot to westconn again for helping me....Sharing the knowledge is the greatest thing that you are doing westconn, I really appreciate your help.

    Well I need seperate macros to perform this....the 1st to copy subj is working fine, the other seems to be copy the name from the address book rather than email..it should atleast copy first part of the email....is it possible...
    Code:
    Sub subj()
    Dim m As MailItem
    Set m = ActiveExplorer.Selection(1)
    s = m.Subject
    Set m = m.Reply
    m.Close olDiscard
    
    Set cb = CreateObject("clipbrd.clipboard") 
    cb.Clear
    cb.SetText s & vbNewLine
    End Sub

    Code:
    Sub getemail()
    Dim m As MailItem
    Set m = ActiveExplorer.Selection(1)
    
    f = m.SenderName
    Set m = m.Reply
    e = m.Recipients(1).Name
    m.Close olDiscard
    
    Set cb = CreateObject("clipbrd.clipboard")
    cb.Clear
    cb.SetText f & vbNewLine
    End Sub

    Re: Macro to copy subject line

    the senders email address is not included within the email, unless m.senderaddress works for you, it did not for me (maybe different in your version)
    m.sendername only returns the name of the sender, not the email address
    by creating a reply and reading the email address from the reply .TO is the only way i could find it
    Code:
    cb.settext f & "[" & e & "]"
    in my test the sender was not in the address book

    the reply part is not required to return the subject
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.

    Thanks westconn1,

    Yes I did remove the reply part from subject....

    senderemailaddress works for me only for members who are not in my address book....
    Code:
    Sub getemail()
    Dim m As MailItem
    Set m = ActiveExplorer.Selection(1)
    
    f = m.SenderEmailAddress
    m.Close olDiscard
    
    Set cb = CreateObject("clipbrd.clipboard")
    cb.Clear
    cb.SetText f & vbNewLine
    End Sub
    But the challenge if the sender is my contact list it copies like this /O=(companyname)/OU=US/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=Username_0864.

    I was looking if the macro automatically determines the addresses and gives the output according

    Members not in my address book - copy emailaddress
    Members in my address book - copy just username without their domain.[OR]
    members in my address book - Copy just the lastname.

    Is it possible?

    Re: Macro to copy subject line

    as you are in a domain, i can not duplicate your results to test
    the method i used above should still work fine
    get the .TO email address, from the reply
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
