Custom Form that allows a single SMTP header to be parsed to Field Chooser?

I want to use Outlook (11, "2003") to view a CATCH-ALL mailbox[1] via IMAP4 and display, among other SMTP values, the "X-ORIGINAL-TO:" value. Why? I'm reviewing spam being sent to my domain, and many spam messages spoof the TO: field, as well as the FROM:. Some leave it blank (or BCC the address on my domain that was used).

[1] (Sorry, not on Exchange. Mailman or Sendmail on my domain hosted service.)

The headers are stored in PR_TRANSPORT_MESSAGE_HEADERS (Tag num: 0x007D001E). I've created a custom form using instructions here and using OutlookSpy v2, that displays the field, but of course that puts the entire SMTP header in a field in the message list table view. I want to filter that.

The SMTP headers can be viewed by opening a message, through options, sure; I just want the one header line. Outlook offers me the ability to see at a glance various values in the table view ... this one just seems to be a bit more difficult.

Has anyone executed a solution for this that I can adapt? Perhaps something using RegEx?

TIA!

Example of Outlook displaying spam message values (suspect values highlighted). You can see that opening messages up one at a time to correlate this nonsense would be impractical and time-consuming. Outlook is all about productivity! :)

Thanks, Diane! I came here on the recommendation on the other site that you answer questions here ... I didn't expect such a quick answer. :)

Please consider it as an intellectual puzzle as I suspect it's not something tons of users want to do (or would do on the server side instead of client-side). I also realize that another approach might be more effective, e.g. filtering all messages to dynamic folders based on the x-original-to value, thereby exposing the target addresses that way, versus in the single-folder table view.

It was a fun exercise following the instructions linked above, all the same.
 
I'm hot and cold this week on fast answers - I'm in seattle for meetings with the product group and answer what i can between meetings. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to be able to ask the product group for the answer. <g
For this, I will ask the guys who wrote the efc and instructions. They will know if its possible.
