Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... you're not laughing now RTefffF! I gotcha, and I can prove it... 
$inspector->CurrentItem->SaveAs( 'c:\temp\message.rtf', olRTF );

Using RTF::Document and RTF::Parser I should be able to edit the file into what I want. My only dilemma now is how to get my new RTF back into the current message. I suppose I could dump it and create a whole new message. But that's a pain if there are attachments. And I don't know how to import the RTF (with all its codes and everything) into a new message any more than I know how to replace the existing message with my new content.

Again, any help will be met with joyous abandon
