Nope, no luck. If I change a .msg file to .txt and open it that way, there's no from:/to: header, just a bunch of coding, then the message text. > Message reply created with The Bat! 1.63 Beta/5 > under Chinese Windows 98 4.10 Build 2222 A > using a Pentium P4 1.7 GHz, 128MB RAM I take it from this footer on your message that you're running a 1.63 beta version of The Bat? I've got version 1.62r running on Windows98... the .msg files are from Outlook 2000 SP-3. Should I try the beta version and see if it fixes the problem? Where can I get it, and is it at least halfway reliable, or is it full of bugs? Thanks, Mike ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
