Dear Thomas,

@20-Oct-2004, 20:20 +0700 (20-Oct 14:20 UK time) Thomas Fernandez [TF]
in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said to Morpheus:

M>> Using my language I can see inside 'the folder' the raw messages so if
M>> anything was going to 'mangle' it as you poetically put it, would it
M>> not have done so already? Yet when I look at the raw message in my
M>> TEXTEDITOR I see the whole and not the stripped message TheBat!
M>> offers up to me.

TF> How do you open the messages in the text editor?

The Satellite software is downloading the messages into a holding
folder external to TB and driver by its own virtual POP handler. The
holding folder is a simple disk folder that contains .msg files. These
files can be viewed with a text editor.

TF> Over here, the mails are downloaded into the .tbb files, and these
TF> show garbage in the text editor. So what file are you opening?

The satellite offline message folder contents external to TB - prior to
receiving the messages in TB.

... <snip>

TF> No apparently it is not your satellite software,

Actually - it seem that there is possibly something amiss with the
message body format before it even arrives in the offline folder.
Although the whole message can be seen in a text editor, once it is
transmitted by POP protocol to TB, the body has been removed. Morpheus
has said this happens with or without the middle-man offline folder's
intervention. Telling TB to grab the messages from the Satellite ISP's
POP server directly by changing the account settings in TB still
resulted in truncated messages. Unless, of course, Morpheus simply
opened the connection and downloaded, expecting the messages to come
direct from the ISP without changing any settings... in which case, we
still don't know.

TF> you do have the full message on your computer. But where, I
TF> wonder. The message body gets lost on the way from that file which
TF> you can open in the text editor to the import into TB.

Yes - and POP3 is the import method.
