Use Split on vbCRLF if it's plain text.

Dim aryLines() As String

aryLines = Split(strBody, vbCRLF)

Greetings --

I need to read the body of an email message one line at a time, much as
you
would do with Line Input when reading a text file. Have code working that
opens an email item, and I can read the MailItem.Body into a string
variable.
In my situation (long story), it would be easier if I could read the body
as
a series of individual lines of text.

Any suggestions? TIA...

Mark
