I've done some VBA in Excel, but never in Outlook and am hopeful I can get some pointers.

I'm looking to create a simple macro that will do the following (sub-bullets to help explain what I'm currently doing manually):
  • Open the most recently sent email and "forward" it.
    • By "Forward" it, I am looking to capture the header information you see when you forward an email (the From:, Sent:, To: & Subject: info). There may be a way to get this info in VBA...however forwarding it is how I've been getting it manually.
  • Copy everything in the email from the word From: down to the bottom.
    • when I'm manually doing this, From: is the first word after my signature line of the new forwarded email. Again...there may be an easier/cleaner way to do this in VBA....I'm simply trying to explain what I'm doing manually so hopefully that helps.
  • Close the forwarded email and do not save
That's it. I am trying to find a simple way to copy and paste this information into another program we use to log conversations. In a perfect world, I'd be able to run this macro in Outlook after sending the email and then jump over to our other program and simply paste it there.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
