automatically send an email to the email address in the body of an Outlook email

Using Outlook 2010, I receive about 5 emails a day from the same sender everyday. These emails contain only one email in the body of the email that I am manually copy and paste into a new email and send myself. I am thinking that with Outlook Rules and Visual Basic I can make it so when I receive the email from a particular sender Outlook can automatically find or detect and extract the email in the body and auto send a template email to that email address.

I hope I am making sense but to keep it simple, basically, I want to auto email the email address located in the body of an outlook email and not the sender.

Your post is unclear in one place it sounds like you want to send the body of an email you have received to yourself and in another place it sounds like you are wanting to extract an email address from the message and send to that address.

The first step in getting the help you seek is to clearly phrase the question.

You should also show the code that you have written and explain where you are having a problem.

Re: automatically send an email to the email address in the body of an Outlook email

Microsoft blocked access to that in Office 2007 (I believe), after script-kiddies used other peoples OUTLOOK account to send 100's of emails per minute. Now there's a rule. Post more than every 5 minutes, and it will countdown.
There used to be a 'TOOL' that would click the button, when it appeared, thereby bypassing the TIMER.

Up to the current day, MS remedied that, as well... :eek:

Most ISP's allow you to SEND MAIL directly from THEIR SERVER. That's the right way.

the 2nd option you posted is what I was trying to explain.
