First, this questions has been addressed in the past at https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/616616-extract-specific-data-folder-eml-files.html. Unfortunately it's about 4 years old and no longer serviced. The moderator suggested I link to it and then ask my questions. The details are in the last post to that thread, but here it is again. I've tried to use that script but, even with changes, I can't get it to work.

I send out emails and sometimes get bounces. I usually try to manually update my DB individually, but I want to automate it. I have about 200 bounce notices from the last few months which I've copied as .eml files to a separate folder. I created an empty Excel 2010 spreadsheet with column headers (To and From) the same as the data titles in the code script ready for data. I have two individual test .emls in the same folder.

No matter what I run at least one of the .eml files should provide data. Both give me "No data was available..."

I've looked all through several .eml files and all have a LOT of stuff in them, but they all have the same original data from my original email in them as (including the quotation marks):
To: "recipient@email.com" <itc@msf.org style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250);">

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
