If you are expecting a link in the message you can use regex to parse
the url and then Watir to open it in a browser.

2008-10-15 Thread Peter

I started down the path of automating Outlook via com but ran into
issues with security pop ups that discourage scripting. I was able to
script past the pop ups (sometimes) but the behavior of the pop ups
were not consistent. I've given up on this since then. Here's the code
I had written in case someone is interested in breaking the security
features.

#http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/4232

require 'breakpoint'
require 'win32ole'

class Outlook
DELETE_ITEMS = 3
OUTBOX   = 4
SENT_MAIL= 5
INBOX= 6
CALENDAR = 9
CONTACTS = 10
JOURNAL  = 11

def initialize()
@outlook = WIN32OLE.new('Outlook.Application')
@mapi = @outlook.GetNameSpace('MAPI')

@dir = File.expand_path(__FILE__)
@dir = @dir[0 .. @dir.rindex('/')-1]
end

def send(to, subject, body, attachment_path=nil)
system("start ruby.exe [EMAIL PROTECTED]/email_security.rb send")

message = @outlook.CreateItem(0)
message.Subject = subject
message.Body = body
message.To = to
message.Attachments.Add(attachment_path, 1) if attachment_path

begin
  message.Send()
rescue Exception => e
  puts "Send threw an exception"
end
end

def get_unread(folder='Inbox')
array = []
get_folder(folder).Items.each do |message|
array << message
end
return array
end

def get_unread_count(folder='Inbox')
return get_folder.UnreadItemCount
end

def get_folder(folder='Inbox')
ofolder = @mapi.GetDefaultFolder(INBOX)
ofolder = @mapi.GetDefaultFolder(INBOX).Folders.Item(folder)
if folder!='Inbox'
#folder = @mapi.Folders.Item('Archive
Folders').Folders.Item('Inbox')
return ofolder
end

# gets a message from a folder
# - how to get the message
[:from, :subject, :Body, :Attachments]
# - what to use for searching (examples, Peter Chau, RE: Test
email)
def get_message(how, what, folder='Inbox')
system("start ruby.exe [EMAIL PROTECTED]/email_security.rb read")

get_folder(folder).Items.each do |message|
begin
case how# [receivedByName, senderName, .to]
when :body
(return message if message.body =~ what) if
what.is_a?(Regexp)
(return message if message.body == what) if
what.is_a?(String)
when :subject
(return message if message.subject =~ what) if
what.is_a?(Regexp)
(return message if message.subject == what) if
what.is_a?(String)
when :senderName
(return message if message.senderName =~ what)
if what.is_a?(Regexp)
(return message if message.senderName == what)
if what.is_a?(String)
end
rescue Exception => e
end
end

puts "did not find email with #{how} = '#{what}'"
return nil
end
end

I automate Outlook through COM.

Here is an example

  def verify_an_email_has_been_sent(subject_text)
sleep 10
outlook = WIN32OLE.new('Outlook.Application')
name_space = outlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
inbox_folder = name_space.GetDefaultFolder(6)
del_folder = name_space.GetDefaultFolder(3)
message = nil
inbox_folder.Items.each do |i|
  if (i.subject == subject_text )
if !message.nil?
  raise "found more than one message"
end
message = i
  end
end
if message.nil?
  raise "The message was not found"
else
  # delete the message
  message.Move(del_folder)
end

Aidy

If you decide not to automate outlook but to send mails from ruby, I would
recommend tmail (I use it for that purpose).

2008-10-15 Thread Jason Trebilcock
I was going to reply directly...but I'll do it here instead.
Rather than worry about automating Outlook, consider what your real goal is
– to send an email.
To that end, consider using a run-of-the-mill Ruby script to do it.

Something like the following:
http://www.example-code.com/ruby/ruby-send-email.asp

I do the same with Perl when I need to do something similar.  Though, I
don't worry so much about the validation of the email.
