But in case of importing mails from other clients, this approach produces an undesired result. But I would argue about the first paragraph quoted here: when importing, The Bat! *could* access information about when the message was received by other client. It's not in emails' headers, but it exists in the other client's binary part of massage base. Of course this would involve in doing reverse-engineering of such foreign message base files, but at least in some cases I believe the documentation exist. Certainly it should be possible to import information about received time from Thunderbird message base (since it's open source). Also from Outlook it should be simple (many tools exist that mangle with Outlook files). And another bug is, that before importing user is not warned that he will in fact *loose* some information. Just changing an email client is not a good reason to loose the information about when I received the email. -- Yes, *I* received an email (using my email client). Not TheBat received an email, not Thunderbird, etc. *I* received the email in a client I was using at that time. How's this point of view to you all? -- Krzysztof Trybowski Gadu-Gadu: 1458144 --- Skype: trybowski AQQ: 141062 --- ICQ: 4350719 --- gpg key-id: 0xC937B0F2 Using The Bat! 3.99.8 [reg] under Windows XP 5.1 build 2600. ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.99.20 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
