SIMPLE SCRIPS

An Outlook Macro for cleaning Yahoo Groups subject lines

I use Outlook 2000 to read these emails, and use its grouping functionality to show messages per thread (Right click on header and choose 'Group By Box', then drag the subject header to the box). However the subject lines often get poluted with various bits of text like 'Re[2]:', 'Re[4]:', etc. This upsets Outlooks grouping and means threads get split into several smaller threads.

This is a simple script that takes messages located in Inbox/Lists, modifies the subject line and moves the fixed messages to Inbox/Lists/Home Auto. You'll probably need to modify it slighly for your own purposes but should work out of the box.
