You are probably running into a pathing issue. XMail versions 1.16 and later (possibly 1.15 as well, I can't recall now), use the \\?\ prefix on path names, to allow paths longer than 260 characters. This is perfectly legal in calls to the Win32 API, but it doesn't work well for command line apps.
Likely you'll need to write some code to accomplish your task - the code would need to check for \\?\ on the beginning of the path, and strip those four characters if they are found. The code can be C, Perl, or whatever you're comfortable with. But I don't know of a way to do it using batch files... Rexx could probably handle it - but if you're going to go to that much trouble, might as well use Perl or VBScript. At 22:26 10/3/2003, webmaster wrote: >good bone..
