.MSG files

2006-09-08 Thread Steven P Vallière
I seem to be collecting more and more .MSG files
in my default attachments folder.  I've searched TB's help
system and none of the hits for MSG seem to have anything
to do with these files.  They seem to contain email message
bodies, and therefore that are, by definition, *NOT
ATTACHMENTS* ! ! !  So I must ask:

1. Why are they collecting in my attachments folder?

2. How do I stop TB from doing this silly thing?

3. If I delete these .MSG files, will I lose access to
   the body of the message from inside TB, or does it
   save another copy somewhere else (as it should be
   doing)?

   (The messages.tbb files seem to have not only all of
   the message bodies, but attachments as well, so one
   would assume the neither the body NOR the attachment
   is lost if these stupid .MSG files are removed.)

Please help, a directory with many thousands of files in
it is nearly unusable in Windows XP (too [EMAIL PROTECTED]$ SLOW!).

Thanks! ?

This would usually only happen if these .msg files are attachments to
messages you received. If you are sure you didn't receive
MIME-attached messages this would be weird. Do you receive a lot of
look at this forwards?

The message body is stored in the .tbb file, but it may be an empty
message, if my theory about those being forwards is correct.

You seem to be storing the attachments in the Attachments directory,
so those will be lost if you delete the files.

SPV Please help, a directory with many thousands of files in

Try moving these .msg files (all of them) to a temporary directory you

whether you have problems reading the message bodies.

This implies that you're not storing your attachments in an attachment
folder. Are you putting your attachments in that directory with a
filter? If so could that filter (or maybe another one) export your

You didn't at some stage export a folder of messages in .msg format
into that directory, perhaps unintentionally? That would leave you
with a directory full of files like that. If you did, the files would
all have the same creation date.

The least costly way is if you have access to Outlook Explorer.
You can use the Import Wizard of OE (File-Import-Messages) from the

If that doesn't work, there are pay-tools such as Aid4Mail

Hi all,

I have a really old file ('95) with the extension .pst which I would like to 
importing into TB. The file is text and if I open it in a text editor I can see 
that it is a bunch of mail messages (in .msg/.eml format) separated by a dot. 
So the format looks like this:

Mail message (.msg)
.
Mail message (.msg)
.
Mail message (.msg)
.
etc

I can import the messages if I split them out into individual files saving as 
.msg as I go. However this will take forever to do unless I can find a way to 
import it automatically. I've tried to use the import wizard using UNIX format, 
however this says no messages imported. Does anyone have any ideas about how I 
could achieve this?

be saved in a special folder.  However, the BODIES of all
SPAM are being saved as .MSG files in my PRIMARY attachment
folder.  I think this was caused by the addition of
SPAMASSASSIN on my mail server, which packages probable SPAM
as an attachment to an analysis of the message.  But for some
reason, all the .EML, GIF, PNG, JPG, etc. go in the special

hmhmm
The only thing that comes to mind isn't pretty, and
should be tested, first, of course, and yes, very
PITA. ;)

a) Export those messages with attachments you want to
keep to Unix style mailboxes. 

b) Make sure your new mail settings keep attachments
in the message bodies (for the next step)

c) Import the messages into a new folder. This should
make them part of the tbb file, I would think, instead
of external attachments

D) delete all those old messages and the messages you
don't want, and the attachments should go with them.

*But I would back everything up first in case it goes
horribly wrong* Not sure how this will work if
there is a .msg inside a .msg inside a .msg like you
get with Forwarded jokes, but embedded attachments are
meant to be embedded attachments...

A small test should decide whether this cures, helps,
or does nothing to help you with your situtation. Set
up a second bogus e-mail account as aprt of your test,
and import into that, since it will have its own
attach folder to inspect and review.

Moving between folders didn't work (I did a quick test
and looked into the tbb files, the mail keeps the
original reference, eg. X-Content-File: C:\Program
Files\The Bat!\MAIL\MY_ISP_A\Attach\IMAGE0013.JPG even
though I moved it to the MY_ISP_B inbox.

That's the only thing that comes to my mind, perhaps
someone else has a better idea, but.. I think I

Thousands of .MSG files?

2004-12-06 Thread Steven P Valliere
This is probably easy to fix, but I've not been able
to locate a setting for it anywhere...

Sometime before I upgraded to tb3.01 (but while I was
trying out beta versions of tb2.xx) I started getting
large numbers of .MSG files in my 'attachments' folder.

(A) Can I safely delete these without losing the bodies
of messages I want to save?

(B) If not, how do I tell The Bat! to keep the bodies
with the messages instead of on disk?

(C) If so, then how do I tell The Bat! to stop crapping
on my disk drive?

If no one's noticed, explorer isn't very fast when there
are 20,000+ files in a folder...  (and before you ask,
yes, I get far, far too much SPAM).

Directories? This way, when you delete your spam, the attachments, if any, go as

Been my experience that by having the attachments stored externally that I can
find/search them better and that the bat reacts very quickly since the mailbase
is smaller. In any case, in the same location you will find the dropdown list
that parses out the attachments (Keep Attachment Files option). Also a setting
to bind attachments for sent mail.

(I messed up an earlier install when I was first starting out, as near as I can
tell, TB still knows that the e-mail is supposed to have an attachment, but all
the sizes are 0 bytes. Let others confirm this or maybe even a better solution,
just my anectodal observations).

I set my Mums Bat to always forward using .msg but
this friend wants her to forward in line.

Can anyone offer any advice that I can forward to help
her open .msg files because If Mum starts using non

a series of attachments and the rest of her friends
will complain.

I thought .msg was an internet standard ?
if  not any ideas about how to forward html mails to outlook users in one
piece ?

By alternative forward I guess you mean not to use MIME standard for
forwarding, right? (From your description, you use MIME forwarding by
default, though that's not TB's default setting.)

As the setting is a per-account setting, I guess there's no way to get
around it for a specific contact other that setting up another account (in
TB) for that purpose. (I might be wrong, since I've been away from TBUDL for
so long, my knowledge is definitely outdated.)

Should I be right, the simple way is to set up an address book entry for
that recipient, and define a special forward template for it (use %TEXT or
%QUOTE to quote the original message text). It's not exactly elegant, for
the use MIME... setting at the account level is still in effect, so the
recipient will get the forwarded content both in the message body and as an
.msg attachment. But at least it gets the job done.

If there's a more elegant solution, I'm sure the more experienced people
will jump in soon. :-)

(I don't know the answer really, but I cannot resist to answer
anyway.)

Yes, but since when does OL care about standards? ;-)))
