Here is the code for the macro. Hopefully, it is useful to someone. Please let me know if you have any problems so I can correct make an effort to correct the macro.
IMPORTANT A regular copy/paste should work correctly. However, you may experience issues with line breaks that prevent the macro from working. If this is the case, the Outlook VB editor will make it abundantly clear what lines are invalid, so it should be pretty easy to fix rogue line wrapping.
