Another option is to copy the TBB file to another location. Rename that file to messages.uue, and open the file in winzip. You should see a lot of text files in it. Each text file is an email (except maybe the first). You can then extract the uue file to a safe location, for easy of working with, extract it to <currentdir>\messages\. Go into the folder, and find the offending mails, delete/move out of the messages folder. Select all the files in the folder, and create a ZIP file out of them and call it messages.zip. Then reopen the zip file in winzip and go to Actions - UUEncode. It'll ask you what file to create, let it create it as messages.uue. Go back to your folder with the problem mails in it (make sure you have TB! closed btw). Copy the TBB file to a safe location for backup, copy the messages.uue file into the offending folder, and rename to messages.tbb. You might need to delete messages.tbi... then try opening TheBat again... and in theory you *should* be back up and running again, no loss of mail (except the offenders), and if you just moved the two offending mails instead of deleting them, you can open in notepad and have a look at them... and if you've nice, send them onto RitLabs for bug testing :) - -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Fingerprint: 676A 1701 665B E343 E393 B8D2 2B83 E814 F8FD 1F73 iQA/AwUBPbC4WSuD6BT4/R9zEQJjyACePHzBNridIGojFmgMXaTf5EhxJq0AmwVw qk6zmNvlEWlEPg//CnVoxGRC =NDOU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
