Aha!!! I see what you mean with the On Error business and that's a problem
only because no one ever writes about how to actually use that error
handling method correctly. I'm with you; an error is an opportunity to
make a conditional decision if you can understand the error. So, that in
mind, look at this method of using On Error Resume Next.
On Error Resume Next
Set This=ThatObject.Class
If Err <> 0 Then
debug.print "Holy Hex Code, Batman!! Whatever could that error
be?"
Debug.Print Err.Number & ", " & Err.Description
'Make some decision based on Err.Number here
Select Case Err.Number
Case 70
Debug.Print "Access Denied!"
Err.Clear
'Go to some authentication
'method you've written and retry
LogMeIN
Case Else
'Didn't know about this error so I want it written
'down by my logging routine
LogAction Err.Number & ", " & Err.Description
LogAction "This Subroutine failed!"
End Select
Err.Clear
End If
'go back to good ole
'standard error handling
On Error GoTo 0

Nope, but I know I'd also like to do something like this and add the
condition that there is an attachment since many of these NDR have the
original, infected file, included in the message.

Go to Tools Macros? Customize the Toolbar to have a button pointing at
your macro?

No need for that. I was just browsing the object browser while chasing
through your code. <g>

Option Explicit is fine with a couple painful exceptions. To me, Option
Explicit is there only for the programmer who is forgetful (uh, what's
your name again?). It can reduce the number of bugs you have as the result
of typos but it really doesn't do much but force the declaration of a
variable. It doesn't even demand that you strongly data type your variable
declaration. That part remains up to you as a bit of discipline which also
can cause you to tear hair out (and usually without need). Also, there
instances as you move across the VB language types where Option Explicit
actually defeats some of your error handling. For that reason alone you'll
rarely find an experienced VBScripter who will use Error Handling AND
Option Explicit in the same script.
