vba - How do you extract email addresses from the 'To' field in outlook?

Question

I have been using VBA to some degree, using this code:

Sub ExtractEmail()
Dim OlApp As Outlook.Application
Dim Mailobject As Object
Dim Email As String
Dim NS As NameSpace
Dim Folder As MAPIFolder
Set OlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
' Setup Namespace
Set NS = ThisOutlookSession.Session
' Display select folder dialog
Set Folder = NS.PickFolder
' Create Text File
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set a = fs.CreateTextFile("c:mydocumentsemailss.txt", True)
' loop to read email address from mail items.
For Each Mailobject In Folder.Items
   Email = Mailobject.To
   a.WriteLine (Email)
Next
Set OlApp = Nothing
Set Mailobject = Nothing
a.Close
End Sub

However this gives output as the names of the email addresses and not the actual email address with the "something@this.domain".

Is there an attributte of the mailobject that will allow the email addresses and not the names to be written from the 'To' Textbox.

Thanks

Check out the Recipients collection object for your mail item, which should allow you to get the address: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff868695.aspx

Looking back on this answer, I realized I did a bad thing by only linking somewhere and not providing a bit more info.

Here's a code snippet from that MSDN link above, showing how the Recipients object can be used to get an email address (snippet is in VBA):

Sub GetSMTPAddressForRecipients(mail As Outlook.MailItem) 
    Dim recips As Outlook.Recipients 
    Dim recip As Outlook.Recipient 
    Dim pa As Outlook.PropertyAccessor 
    Const PR_SMTP_ADDRESS As String = _ 
        "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x39FE001E" 
    Set recips = mail.Recipients 
    For Each recip In recips 
        Set pa = recip.PropertyAccessor 
        Debug.Print recip.name &; " SMTP=" _ 
           &; pa.GetProperty(PR_SMTP_ADDRESS) 
    Next 
End Sub
