Problem with Code - converting emails to .htm files

jpotucek · Apr 20, 2006

OK. Someone else wrote this code and they are no longer here. I'm
| not very good with VBA, just trying to get this mess to work.
|
| I'll post the code at the bottom of this post.... but basically what
| it is SUPPOSED to do when the Macro is run in Outlook is ask the user
| for a range of dates and then ask them to pick an email folder to run
| the macro against. It then reads all the emails in the folder and the
| ones which match the date range criteria get dumped into an xls file
| with Columns Subject, sender, received date and message body. The
| xls file is then converted to a .htm file and it's done....
|
|
| what's it's NOT doing is formatting the Message Body column correctly
| in the final .htm file. it is displaying as one long line and is
| getting truncated after it reaches the limit for the column length.
| These are emails from our customers and we can't be truncating the
| message body!!!!
|
| anyway, what I've been having the user do is to run the Macro in
| Outlook (code below) and then edit the .htm output file (open it in
| excel) and run this macro against it to properly format it the cells:
|
| 'xls code to format MessageBody Column'
| Columns("D

").ColumnWidth < 80 Then
| Columns("D

It seems that the code belongs into the readability_and_HTML_export method.

The wrong forum is another issue as your problem is Excel related. But that
wasn´t my answer

You said:
and I answered where I think that code snippet should be placed.

Sorry, I suppose I didn't format my original question very elequently..
And I already posted in the excel forum and i never got any help... Someone
only replied that I needed to post to the Outlook forum instead..

Does anyone know of any other Forums that I can post to where someone who
knows more about VBA than I do maybe give me a hand with this code?

No prob, we can try to do the job here.

If I gave you a wrong answer, then please ask again and format your original
post in a way that the question is clear.

Thank you so much. I will try and make my question as direct as possible.

I have a User who runs this Macro (Code Below) From Outlook against a
Mailbox
with basically tons of email folders and thousands of emails. The user
inputs a date range and specifies a folder for the macro to run against and
it scans that folder, dumps the emails that meet the date range criteria into
an xls spreadsheet and then the spreadsheet is converted to a .htm file.

The problem is... ALL OF data makes it into the MessageBody column in the
..xls file but the MessageBody column is Truncated after 255 characters in the
..htm file. I'd like the MessageBody column of the .htm file to contain
ALL the date - I don't know how to incorporate the word-wrap and autofit code
that I need to accomplish this.

Help?

In readability_and_HTML_export set WrapText=True for the entire worksheet or
at least for column D. If the column width is too small then you need to
wrap the text.

A good approach is to use the macro recorder in this case: Copy a few sample
messages into the sheet. Then start the recorder, format the sheet manually
and stop the recorder. You can now use the recorded result (maybe with a few
modifications) for your code.

Thank you for all your help !!!! In readability_and_HTML_export I set
WrapText=True and it's working fine now. SOmetimes it's the simplest
things that I miss!!!! Thanks again
