Howdy Bros. I'm working on some Outlook automation using Win32::OLE. Like so: 
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Variant;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Outlook';
my $Outlook = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Outlook.Application');
my $ol = Win32::OLE::Const->Load($Outlook);
my $namespace = $Outlook->GetNamespace("MAPI");
my $Folder = $namespace->Folders('mymail')->Folders('Inbox');
my $n = $Folder->Items->Count;
for ($i=$n; $i>0; $i--) {
    my $msg = $Folder->Items($i);
    my $to = $msg->{'To'};
}

[download]

If the message retrieved has a header entry for To like Joe Blow <joe.blow@foobar.com>, rather than just a raw e-mail address (which is often the case) then $to just contains "Joe Blow". I want the e-mail address (or the full string from the header). Does anyone know how to get it?

TIA...Steve
