The script looks for a control in the active window with a 'From' label, and uses MSAA to get an email address at the end of the control's value. Microsoft Outlook has such a field, but unfortunately, I found that Outlook Express does not, and the same may be true of Windows Mail (OutLook Express has a From field, but it just gives the sender's name without an address).
Someone interested in adapting the script for other email packages could start by using the Harvest Window script to generate detailed information about the active window of an opened message in the email program of interest. If you find a control with the email address of the sender, then it should be possible to use that information in a script. Jamal On Thu, 8 Jan 2009, Alan R.
