I'll try to fish out some of the code we use, but for most
of the fields, having got the body, I simply used the email
module to parse it. (Obviously that doesn't give you anything
which isn't included in the MIME version of the email).

I have a lightweight wrapper that does some of the MAPI
spadework. If you're interested, let me know and I can
send it across or post it somewhere.
