Here's something I don't see posted. Can Macro Scheduler sit and look at an Desktop Outlook and/or Webbased Yahoo incoming email and start a script based on a subject line keyword?
Is there perhaps something in Outlook itself that I (no pun intended) overlooked that can be used to activate an external program based on some parameters?
Any advice would be appreciated!

It is possible to create quite advanced macros within Outlook. You might check under the Tools menu. With an OutLook macro is would certainly be possible to run a MacroScheduler macro.
However, you might also use RetrievePOP3> in MacroScheduler to receive emails for some account. this way you could store all the emails in text format in a specific directory, then easily search the files for subject line content.
You might then use SMTPSendMail> to send an email based on what you have received.
What exactly are you trying to automate? This might help us give you good suggestions.

! What I perhaps poorly described as "pounding away" wasn't at all malicious, it was searching for new business that is first posted on a website and then emailed. There is no intention to use *this* program for that. If you re-read my response - that's what I was doing, with another program and I don't want to continue doing that. I'm looking for the ability to respond only to an alerting email, and only activate the other program for 1 min.

...in that case, I would still suggest using RetrievePOP3>, if possible.
To clarify, what you are trying to do is wait for some text to be posted on a website, then you want to retreive an email concerning that text?
Why not just set up RetrievePOP3> to fire every minute or so and check for the text in the subject line.
The help files explain pretty well how to receive emails to a specific folder. they are stored as text, so it's simple to do a Readfile> to see if the file contains what interests you.
