However, I'm not entirely sure about it and I can verify this because I configured TB to keep attachments in the message body. Only attachments that you RECEIVED are in the attachments folder (if you selected to not keep them in the message body, that is). If you received an attachment with the same name more than once (like picture.jpg) you'll find multiple (numbered) versions of the file in your attachments directory. So chances are that what you're seeing are attachments that you received. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de) The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together. -- G.

Therefore one way to prevent multiple saved attachments is to attach them only when the message is ready to send. In retrospect I can't verify that previous instances aren't also saved while the message is still in draft form. Still, any idea why this is happening? Every time you save your draft message or it is auto-saved, a new copy of the message is created in the Outbox. Perhaps this is causing the multiple copies of the attachment.

backup cannot write
I'm using the 1.63 version of bat! in Abacus law program. About a week ago, I suddenly cannot backup. Every time it hangs partway through saying cannot write [backupfilename]. I suspect a corrupted folder but can't find it. Ran maintenance and it says nothing to do. I checked each of my 700+ folders and eliminated all the ones that show zero messages. Still won't write. I've defragged my drive, tried saving to different directories and different file names, tried saving to different drives and still it doesn't work. I'm not trying to save over a network. It is all in the same machine. I tried saving just the main accounts without the common folders and that seems to work. But when I try to backup just the common folders, it gives the can't write error. Any idea other than checking the maintenance log (I already did that) on how to figure out which of my 700+ folders is the problem or how to fix the problem? BTW, I tried unstalling and reinstalling Abacusbat and even redownloading and reinstalling the latest Abacusbat from the Abacus web site (stil 1.63). That didn't fix it either. ___ $0 Web Hosting with up to 200MB web space, 1000 MB Transfer 10 Personalized POP and Web E-mail Accounts, and much more.

Re: Help: Regex reply
Stuart, Off the top of my head I would say that if you have control of the form on the web page you could actually do all the hard work there and store the info in hidden fields before its mailed to you. Doing this, you could construct an e-mail from those fields into the subject line with various delimiters that could be easily checked. Example: Subject: New Form Submission User=fields 1 + 2 Pass=Password Then it would be easy to parse the subject line to extract the User-name and password by simply looking for the User= and Pass= phrases. You might want to change those phrases to something else!

How to fix the problem is what I choose, this time. Do it (the backup) using some other, separate, program. It is simplest, fastest and safest way (particularly if we deal with lots of folders; I have near to 400 of them). You can simply compress/archive the whole your \Mail folder (using WinZip or any other archiving program - PowerArchiver 2001 is free for instance and very good, writing and reading numerous archive formats), or you can use a standalone backup program as My Own Backup v2.1 is, also freeware. They all will write always, no matter what happens with TBat, internally, and will always be able to expand back the backup they make. Besides, there are even more good reasons why to do that this way, but basically they all could be reduced to the one: TB is a mailer, but is not a backup machine, or encrypting software and so on. The more side functions is built-in in a software with the basic designated function, the more chances are that they will get in collision, or confused one by another. This way of backing up using standalone backup programs is even more significant if we deal with lots of mail and besides a such one we consider as valuable (be that some work and some official documentation, or something else). * And, for the end, let me quote the famous and unfathomable Hammer Von Troll: It's not that sad when backup cannot write as it is when backup cannot read. - -- Mica ~~~ For personal mail please use my address as it is *exactly* given in my From field, otherwise it will not reach me. ~~~ GPG keys/docs/software at: http://blueness.port5.com/pgpkeys/ http://tronogi.tripod.com/pgp/pgpkeys/ [Earth LOG: 670 day(s) since v3.0 unleashing] OSs: Windows 98 SE Micro Lite Professional IVa Enterprise Millennium Windows XP(ee) Micro Lite Professional 1.6, Gentoo Vector ~ Wine -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6-svn-4217 o tiger192 (Cygwin/MinGW32) iQEVAwUBRRcYP7SpHvHEUtv8AQaCCgf/UeojrvXtzsONApFIJdL5CNFr00gDwwEF Gze6VZOTu/6420tbFly6oRcxdM8/ACg0j8cBgys7WmlSDg1H/dZSf2J20Z2zBTvE aPKZ6BvQSrJ2tILJMBI2EZ+SZAKwVFgxhwF8R9TS8iWOHP5NLFXMVBgHDAuVvSg5 6tDYSDrG71b2z+iLrnXdfF77kyltoqbBcJGYVd4+ZExWG3f2Xy7AelSDlMUq8F6P Mf9JSPJeOnHUvvuGJzYDXjrghXdQdymSTBcDf+HXA052b+mL9L4CHNWuinB9xiuM aopd9XrabHxAxjBfzJ9JwkBItuBUvmVlRYmCrvscumP0fO5MFGyXdw== =UQKP -END PGP SIGNATURE- Current version is 3.85.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
