Resend button for spam/notspam mailboxes

[Segfault666]

I have never written a macro for Outlook, and am confused about where to start.

I have a very simple requirement: I would like to have a button (or script) which will 'Resend' all selected items to a specific e-mail address without having to do anything other than click that button.

Seems like a very simple task, but I can't find any documentation for a resend function on the mailitem class.

NOTE: Resend is NOT THE SAME as Forward as I need to keep my headers.

Application: I have a PST file with 1500 emails (500 notspam, 1000 spam) and I would like to use them to train my bayesian database, but i just don't have any efficent way of getting them out of Outlook and into Postfix.



Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,
- Ian

If you forward with the emails as attachment, you will also keep the headers.

Correct me if I am wrong but forwarding as attachment, yes, keeps the headers in the attachment but the destination (after the mbox) is spamassassin through the sa-learn module which doesn't look at attachments, only headers and message content.

That part, you did not mention at first, so that makes it different.
In that case, are you on a server (Exchange or so?)
