It seems that Adam Rykala said ...


A Account Properties - Files and Directories

Oh. OK, but that's for outbound files, isn't it? I've never had a
problem sending a file. Mime64.

(From another message)
A TB! on C drive or another drive?
A Spaces in folder name (here its d:\TheBat)

TB on C: in C:\Program Files\The Bat!

Mail in D:\BatMail\WTVN (and other directories for other accounts)

MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS: On any given mail check, I'm checking 17 accounts.
This could be an issue. That's common among all machines (although
some check only 10 or so).

A Only real DLL in the folder are the PGP ones (present) and the Spell Checker. So
A DLL  hell  is  possibly out as it looks like TB! is pretty self contained (and I
A got out of programming 10 years ago!!)

Spell checker only.

A Write caching on or off?
Varies from one machine to the next.

A Ultra DMA on? (possibility of some conflict between TB!
A and something?_)
On this machine, yes. Office machine, probably not. Notebook-possibly.

Are we having fun or what!

(I'm outta here for the rest of the day. Again -- THANKS sincerely to
everyone who has commented on this.)

A Do  you  run your own mail server - and if so, can you read through your logs in

I wish. No, my domain is at Communitech.net, but I see the same
problem with messages that pass through ...
 blinn.com
 procomp.com
 rr.com
 questcorp.com
 rayjutkins.com
so I tend to rule out the server as a problem. Some of these are Unix,
some are Linux, and some are who knows

A I'm  going to sleep on this now. Work tomorrow. Will do some research and try to
A see if anything pops up as likely

I really am leaving now, too! G'nite!

I've found that switching from separate directory to message body
works for future messages, but not for existing ones. And I've had tbb
files corrupted before (but not individual messages). Used to have
this all the time in Eudora, though.

It might be worth trying to rename a copy (did I remember to say a
copy?) of the tbb file as a uue file and try opening it with winzip or
something. That would remove TB from the picture and tell you whether
the database was stored correctly. If so, then that narrows it down to
post-processing.
