I can't help with the part dealing with Outlook - but once you retrieved the email body, it's easy: import re re_number = re.compile(r"NoticeOfapplication/([0-9-_]+)") match = re_number.search(body) if match: print match.group(1) (this matches any numbers plus "-" and "_" after the words NoticeOfapplication written exactly that way) -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
