1145059 2010-10-15 04:43:00 Does anyone know of a free plugin for Outlook 2007 which will parse an email signature and generate an appropriate Contact entry? I have found some (non-free) options by doing a quick search online, but am cheap and would prefer a free option if one is available. somebody (208)

I want to capture things like phone numbers, company names etc. - not just their email address.

The thing is most signatures are reasonably generic - most I come across look something close to:

DDI: +64 1 234 5697
Fax: +64 1 234 5647
Email: blahblah@blahblah.com
Postal: 122 Doesn't Exist Road, A City

Surely something to parse things like "Phone:" or "DDI:" would be easy enough?

e.g. something like : www.office-outlook.com but free, is what I'm after.
