Is there any way to use vbscript to access messages stored in an Outlook Express folder?

I have a bunch of "rejected" emails from a mailing, and I want to extract the addresses of those who the email was bounced. I can parse through the message and extract the address from the message body, but am looking for a way to loop through all the emails in a given Outlook Express folder, and read the message body of each message.

Any description or link would be helpful... thanks!
 
Actually, I worked around this for now by dragging/dropping the emails into a folder on my hard drive, and then opened each file (email) one by one using FSO OpenTextFile method.

Still curious if there is a way to do it all direct from vbscript...
