Hi folks...

This script does exactly what I want it to do...except...
I'd like it to add the Subject Line from the email as part of the file name.
I saw a possibility somewhere ["newName=itm.subject"] but whatever works is great.
What shall I add and where shall I add it?

Thank you so much.

Bob

Sub OpenLinksMessage()
Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim Reg1 As RegExp
Dim M1 As MatchCollection
Dim M As Match
Dim strURL As String
Dim lSuccess As Long

Set olMail = Application.ActiveExplorer().Selection(1).itm.Subject

Set Reg1 = New RegExp

With Reg1
.Pattern = "(https?[:]//([0-9a-z=\?:/\.&-^!#$%;_])*)"
.Global = True
.IgnoreCase = True
End With

If Reg1.Test(olMail.Body) Then

Set M1 = Reg1.Execute(olMail.Body)
For Each M In M1
strURL = M.SubMatches(0)
Debug.Print strURL
If InStr(strURL, "unsubscribe") Then GoTo NextURL
If Right(strURL, 1) = ">" Then strURL = Left(strURL, Len(strURL) - 1)

lSuccess = ShellExecute(0, "Open", strURL)
DoEvents

NextURL:
Next
End If

Set Reg1 = Nothing
End Sub
 
Correction.
Set olMail = Application.ActiveExplorer().Selection(1).itm.Subject
should be
Set olMail = Application.ActiveExplorer().Selection(1).

Dang, was posted before I was ready. This macro opens a url, it doesn't save the message.

To add the subject, you would use olmail.subject - but need to run it though an illegal character function to remove characters not supported in file names. There are a couple of different ways of doing it - the sample at the link below uses a function to replace the illegal characts with a character of your choice- in this example, a dash.

sName = oMail.Subject
ReplaceCharsForFileName sName, "-"


Private Sub ReplaceCharsForFileName(sName As String, _
sChr As String _
)
sName = Replace(sName, "'", sChr)
sName = Replace(sName, "*", sChr)
sName = Replace(sName, "/", sChr)
sName = Replace(sName, "\", sChr)
sName = Replace(sName, ":", sChr)
sName = Replace(sName, "?", sChr)
sName = Replace(sName, Chr(34), sChr)
sName = Replace(sName, "<", sChr)
sName = Replace(sName, ">", sChr)
sName = Replace(sName, "|", sChr)
End Sub

Are you saving attachments or files that are downloaded from links in the email? Its more difficult to change the filename when its downloaded. I think you'll need to change it after the file is saved. I'll see if i can find any code.
