James,
The body is a variable which hold the email.
I think the commas are there.

I got it to working in a other way, but I would like to see it working like you say.

here is what I did,
I took off the , and "

for x = 1 to len(trim(bodyValue))
if mid(trim(bodyValue),x,1) = Chr(34) or mid(trim(bodyValue),x,1) = Chr(39) then
'do nothing
else
newBody = newBody + mid(trim(bodyValue),x,1)
end if
next
