My problem is fixed and I kind of understand how it happened. My
html messages were arriving as attached .mv files which normally
pertain to Miva Script files. I had recently changed the default
handler for that extension to another program for editing (EditPlus).
I simply deleted the extension from Explorer. Upon a theBat reload,
html files then showed as message.hts. The hts extension is yet
another Miva Script extension (older version I believe). I can still
open these files with my preferred program and I normally open them
from within the editor anyway. But most importantly, theBat is now
showing the proper message.html.
Now I ask myself, "Self, was this really worth the trouble to
see ads in your messages"?
This was simple for me since the only purpose hts and mv files
have here is to be edited with a text editor. But regarding other's
file extension oddities, I am unsure. Correct me if I am wrong but I
believe the main purpose of a file extension is to associate a file
type with a master program or set of menu extensions. That said, if a
program is looking for a certain file type, it will find it and
manipulate it regardless of whether the extension is recognized by the OS.
Don't take my word for it though.
