Hello tbudlr's, I am running into a problem with messages posted by AOHellr's & Netscape mail (so far). The attachments are posted 'inline' and with a filename of part-0123456.tmp. The files are actually *.jpg files, which I normally have extracted to a specific folder (for each group or list I am a member of). The problem is, I need a way to have TB! AUTOMATICALLY extract these files to said folder(s) and CHANGE the filename to an extension of .jpg. No matter what I have tried, TB! will NOT _recognize_ and extract these files automatically!
Is there a solution or workaround?? If I can have TB! just SAVE these files, I can invoke an external renaming batch file to handle the file extension change. The problem is I have been UNABLE to have TB! save these attached files automatically. The HTML (YUCK!) version correctly displays these files AS JPG's. I still can't do anything but MANUALLY save and change the file's extension with each e-mail. This is impractical with 250-300 of them arriving in 35 filtered folders daily. I have gotten to the point where I don't even READ these messages anymore, as they are exclusively JUST file attachments. I just review the stored attachments on a semi-weekly basis. I realize this is not actually a TB! problem. It is rather a CHANGE in the 'standard' of how attached files are sent by a specific (and GROWING) segment of the cyber population! -- Warmest tropical wishes, Spike Quote for this dialup connection: "Only a mediocre person is always at his best." /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign - Against HTML Mail \ / If it aint a webpage it shouldn't be HTML.
