Searching for IP Addresses in email headers

[gibbons]

I'm looking for a way to search through my email headers (MS Outlook) for a specific IP address. Is there a search function in Outlook that allows this? And add-on?

Thanks.

You can do (almost) anything with VBA, until the Outlook security patches killed it off. The trick is finding the function. The documentation (really, help files) is a bear to get through.

You could dump the proprietary Microsoft crap and use a real mail tool like Thunderbird and then all of your mail files are plain text....
