How to? I am not sure, that I am understanding your problem.

:
No, this won't work. In the above example you are only redirecting
the stdout of OwnSoup, which won't be satisfying.
Another approach could be to copy the output.file after execution of
OwnSoup to another specific file - let's name it newout.file...
ownsoup -h "search string" temp.grp output.file && copy output.file newout.file
Alternatively you could use 'ren' instead of 'copy' if you don't want
the messages being imported to Yarns message base.

You could try it...

What do you mean by 'each message to another email program'? Do you
like to handle some types of messages with PMMail, others with
UltiMail, and again others with Yarn? Why??

:
VSoup is already exporting messages to text files... If you are in
the need of specific destinations you could use OwnSoup - as you've
described above.
