Get selected text from subject line

I have searched and found this answer but it won't seem to work for me. I need to get the selected (highlighted) text from the subject of the email. When I try the linked solution from either the preview pane or from an open email, I only get the first character of the body. I attempted to look at all properties of mail.GetInspector.WordEditor but nothing seems to contain the selected text. As stated, mail.GetInspector.WordEditor.Application.Selection only has the first character of the body. In my code, I have mail as type MailItem and is set to ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(1).

My code works fine when the selected text is in the body of the email.

You need to find the Windows control containing the subject and send WM_GETTEXT message to it.

I don't think you can do that in VBA.
