Lotus Domino - find "from" for email

Hi,

I have this code going through the email doc in domino

       For Each it In docMailItem.Items
        Debug.Print it.Name
        Debug.Print it
        ' or get the value in any other way!
       Next it

I see the it.Name as being all the fields that I need, such as Subject and From, but I can not get to the value. Please help. Thank you.

As a background, here the code leading to it. It all works.

   Set colMailItems = Maildb.AllDocuments
   Set docMailItem = colMailItems.GetLastDocument
   NumberOfMessages = colMailItems.Count
   ReDim aryContent(NumberOfMessages)
   blnReadMailRunning = True
   For lngItem = 0 To NumberOfMessages - 1
       Open storePath + "/email_" + CStr(lngItem + 1) + ".txt" For Output As 1
       Open storePath + "/email_" + CStr(lngItem + 1) + ".prop" For Output As 2
       
       itmMailItem.Authors = Join(docMailItem.Authors)
       Print #2, "Name=From"
       Print #2, "Value=" + itmMailItem.Authors
       
       If TypeName(docMailItem.Body) = "String" Then
            itmMailItem.BodyText = docMailItem.Body
           
       Else
           itmMailItem.BodyText = Join(docMailItem.Body)
           
       End If
       Print #1, itmMailItem.BodyText
       
       itmMailItem.LastModified = docMailItem.LastModified
       itmMailItem.Size = docMailItem.Size

Sorry, Richie, you ARE the expert, I know, but I get

Object doesn't support this property or method

Hooray! Debug.Print it.text worked
Then, the problem is with docMailItem, it is not a NOTESDocument object, isn't it?
If you have an object reference for each document in AllDocuments view, then, one of its properties is .columnvalues which is an array.

no, of course not. I know that this is an old library I am using, but I have the code, and it is already working, so be it for now

when I re-write, I will probably use Java anyway

Best regards.
