Outlook 365 and custom formula for column

Question

Have Outlook 365 and note you can use formulas for columns in the Inbox.

I was wondering if it is possible for a formula to read the email headers and show a custom value from there? We have an appliance that scans incoming email and adds custom fields to the headers and I want to be able to quickly see some of these.

As an example, I found this formula for showing the from email address as opposed to the display name in Outlook.

IIf(InStr([SearchFromEmail], "@") = 0, "", Left([SearchFromEmail], InStr([SearchFromEmail], "@") - 1)+"@"+Mid([SearchFromEmail],InStr([SearchFromEmail],"@")+1))

Is there documentation on this functionality somewhere?

I'm not sure how to use the formulas to read the headers. I know what I am looking for so could easily create a formula to extract the value I want if I can get the header info in the first place

thanks

Woohoo! Got it!

This post below gave me the answer I was after. Use a custom Outlook form to specify the property I wanted (it was an x-header).
