Default Custom Formula fields Outlook 2003

Hi,

This one is for Sue Mosher – You Outlook guru you!

I used your e-mail age code you had in an article for finding the age of
the e-mail by days and hours, very cool.

I was wondering if I could create a field to search through the
[message] body for some information and display it in the field so I can
sort by it?

I have a lot of e-mails for jobs that are formatted the same but with
different names in the body of the message it e.g. (see sample below).

I need to search to get the name of the “Affected End User” from the
message, e.g. the field would be called “Affected End User” and the
results would be the names of all the users who have the problems, in
this case “Gordon, Scott”?

Clear as mud?
