Hi Stacy,

for searching strings in the message please use the Instr function. It
returns the start position. This can be used to determining the start
and end positions of a specific string. The string itself you can then
get with the Mid$, Left$, or Right$ functions.

Please just type in the function names and press F1 for samples.
