"For a long time the big problem with [[create OLE Automation]], in my opinion, was the lack of robust and realistic examples showing what it could do — especially where Outlook was concerned. Happily this shortcoming has in recent times been addressed, and addressed in spades. Of all the script viruses, "I Love You" is still my preferred source of useful snippets for manipulating the Outlook address book, even if its author does insist on spelling mail "male." By the way, ILY also contains some good stuff demonstrating the VB file system object — I would lobby for its inclusion in MSDN, but I suppose it is too late now."
