Re: mailsploit fixes
Hello Dimitar, We have always made The Bat! in such a way that you may not run older versions over the message base files or configuration files or address book made by newer versions. We discourage this practice, and you will not be able to do any rebuild or otherwise make both versions work at the same time with the same data. -- Best regards, Maxim Masiutin Director Ritlabs, SRL www.ritlabs.com Current beta is 8.0.18.2 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Dear Maxim, I received email with TB 8.0.18.2, then exited TB and opened TB 7 on the same message base. The message list shows this message without sender and recipient (columns From and To are empty). This does not change when I move the message to another folder. Opening the same base again with TB 8, shows correct (populated) columns From and To. The message preview panel shows correct From and To headers. Is the "index re-building" not working in TB 7 or is there a manual way to invoke it?

mailsploit fixes
Hello, Please note that most of the mailsploit fixes will help for the new messages only. For the messages that are already received, there are already invalid data stored in the message base index files. However, you would be able to update it by re-building index information for theese messages, e.g., by moving them to another folder. The header line decoder in The Bat! was not context aware. It did decode instances of the RFC-2047 "encoded-word" regardless of the context. However, section 5 of this RFC states that an "encoded-word" may only be processed (decoded) in certain context, and according to certain specific rules. Moreover, section 5 of the RFC explicitly specifies that an "encoded-word" MUST NOT appear in any portion of an 'addr-spec' (i.e. an email address). We have reworked lots of code in The Bat! to make the header decoder context-aware. Besides making the header line decoder context aware, we have also made the following checks in the display name part of an address: if it contains an "@" character or any control character (with code less than code of a space character), then such a name part is discarded. -- Best regards, Maxim Masiutin Director Ritlabs, SRL www.ritlabs.com Current beta is 8.0.18.1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
