Re: Some Messages Have Blank Fields
Hi Roelof Both my main account and an inbound archive, also a number of colleagues inboxes as well and this problem occurs on all of these, regardless of type. And I'm using POP to collect from Mailtraq Further to my last post on this subject, below is a copy of one of these blank messages. This is one that actually has something in the message body, although it means nothing to me, but maybe it will to one of you clever people: --MS_Mac_OE_3162224849_23199_MIME_Part-- And below this is the first few lines of the header from this message. I've only shown the first few lines because essentially it is made up of several hundred lines of the same thing (and may not be particularly relevant anyway): TrdZmeuVI3YmjxOqE99304+x0GXn7l+UV22OJTUMPMG7w/sJSOym O4kT/wXBBXZusNpGIN5qxXB/0Z34o5w3GkAjzVSm2u6049hl85bf8BxD27YF73ft/ywd2E5l NU3huEc1QexqZOSfPr49mxKHFBzNC/BI00PhQx+fBW8x7eFajMaImKenDpfPFvbcW2RbyI4k LWT7z2RdSEKy6LlKf3/Y52HQCuAMAczw2UXTmFh9zzgulVJkw8MdXoeVJ06OtfBe6qLhqfnF Any more clues Cheers -- Steve Current version is 2.04.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: Some Messages Have Blank Fields
Hi Roelof This seems to be a mime encoded message. The reason the message appears mangled might be an extra empty line between the headers. Do these messages come from the same (group of) contact(s)? Thanks for replying again Roelof. In terms of where the messages come from or which account they appear in, the is no discernible patterns at all. They can appear in any of the 10 accounts I have setup in TB that poll Mailtraq for mail (POP3) but interestingly enough not on any of the 4 POP3 accounts that I have setup that connect directly to the ISP mail server. In terms of where they come from, I have no idea as they have no (apparent) traceable details which I can use i.e. some are like the example I sent but others are actually completely devoid of all details i.e. they don't even have any headers, that I can see at least. NOTE To All: I have mentioned my resident mail server (Mailtraq) simply because I know Roelof operates with this as well. I certainly don't want this thread to be considered OT as I think the issue to be a TB one (although let me stress I don't consider it to be a defect or bug as such). Some may disagree but please bear with me. -- Cheers Steve Current version is 2.04.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Some Messages Have Blank Fields
Hi all, I've noticed something a little strange that happens from time to time. Occasionally an e-mail will arrive in an Inbox that has all its details as blank i.e. Blank From: field, blank To: field, blank Subject etc, you get the idea. Essentially everything is blank. Quite often the message body actually contains the relevant e-mail and sometimes it just contains what appears to be fairly random strings of ASCII code. This is not account specific and indeed I cannot seem to isolate any pattern to when they arrive. I always check on my mail server when this happens and these e-mails do not appear there so I presume that TB! is generating them for some reason. Anyone have any ideas?

The mail dispatcher sits on that email and fails. I have to manually go to dispatcher, new mail, UNCHECK the receive field ( so it deletes that message) then run dispatcher. the rest of my mails flows to TB and all is well. When I have used the web interface to look at those messages, they obviously have SOME headers, but not much, I consider it SPAM, so I normally don't bother, except to delete them, and keep on truckin. -- Paul Using The Bat! v2.04.7 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Mar2004 (4.1.357) (avast! version number) 0403-7 (11.03.2004) (avast!

Re: Some Messages Have Blank Fields
Hi Roelof Do you check your account or an inbound archive? Are you using pop or imap? Like you I'm using TB and Mailtraq (pop3) and I don't encounter this problem... Both my main account and an inbound archive, also a number of colleagues inboxes as well and this problem occurs on all of these, regardless of type. And I'm using POP to collect from Mailtraq -- Steve Current version is 2.04.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
