Here's a starting point for you. Once you have the object it's just a 
matter of looking up the APIs and documentation.
It helps to do a bit of VBA because the IDE will suggest methods to you 
when you're working with certain objects.

irb(main):001:0> require 'win32ole'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> ol = WIN32OLE.connect 'outlook.application'
=> #<WIN32OLE:0x2a46db8>
irb(main):003:0> ol.application.activeexplorer.selection.each do |item|
irb(main):004:1*   puts item.subject
irb(main):005:1> end
test
test
test
=> nil
