Here's my problem: Is there a program that can take email from Outlook and SAVE it in a text-based program ONLY to distribute this same text-based information on an WIN NT LAN? I get my information over a dial-up Exchange server and it goes into myMS-Outlook program. I need to take that info and somehow deliver it over a LAN. My computers that I get this information over CANNOT BE connected to my server

In Outlook you can save a message as txt file - using save as.

Presuming that the mail comes from a specific source or contains a specific header or similar, you should be able to automate this save using rules.

To distribute it over your lan use a batch file, that does the net connect and copy of file. You can easily schedule this to run every so often using At of one o fthe many freeware/shareware scheduler programs available

Alternatively, you could easily write (or commission) a VB program to extract the needed info from outlook and save it to the target network drive.
