I cannot decide for you what the best method is. For me, keeping them in the message bodies is the best option. I'm in the editorial team of several magazines and sometimes recieve multiple versions of the same article over time, if they were all stored, I'd have a big job finding them back again. Also, the fact that Eudora (at least when I was still using it) didn't offer an option to keep the attachments with the messages but insisted on storing them externally was one of the reasons I started looking for a different program in the first place. I wonder however, how The Bat! reacts to S/MIME signatures when set to store attachments separately. Eudora doesn't support S/MIME out of the box, and as a result I used to have dozens of smime.p7k(x) files laying around in my attachment directory. -- Maurice ([EMAIL PROTECTED] / ICQ: 15724776) Using The Bat! 1.53bis on Windows NT 5.0.2195 Service Pack 2 WWW: http://www.kiap.org/ Thawte Web of Trust Notary, see http://www.thawte.com/ -- __ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

Re: Storage of attachment
Hello Didier, Historians believe that Fri, 8 Jun 2001 at 10:25 GMT +0200 was when, Didier MENE [DM] typed the following: DM * store the attachment separate from message in special dir ? DM * in message bodies ? Storing them in message bodies is my preference. This way, if for any reason you wish to move your messages to another account, program, or computer, the attachments come along with no problems. -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal Using The Bat! 1.53 RC/1 under Windows 98 4.10 Build A This sentence lets you know this page was not a mistake. -- __ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

Hi Melissa, On Fri, 8 Jun 2001 01:42:13 -0700GMT (08/06/2001, 16:42 +0800GMT), Melissa wrote: DM * store the attachment separate from message in special dir ? DM * in message bodies ? M I prefer storing them separate from the message bodies, in a folder that M I've created for them. This way, they're all in one place, where I can M examine, scan, etc. I used to store them seperately for the very same reason (arbitrary access). However, I have now switched to In Message Body, because: 1.) I used to have a lot of attachments that made no sense in the extra directory. message1.msg through message317.msg don't help me identify anything; neither does a file with the same name, sent to you by different people, and the name being picture.jpg (and then picture1.jpg and so forth). Most of the file names in that \Attach directory where useless for arbitrary browsing. 2.) If I really want to keep an attached file, I save it to another directory anyway (My Dopcuments \ someSubDir for *.doc files, for example), as the \Attach directory under TB gets cluttered with all kinds of different files and at the end you do not find anything anyway. 3.) When you move the message to another account, the attachment will stay in the original \Attach directory belonging to the orginal mail account. OK, you say you created an extra directory for attachments, but that only makes the clutter (point 2) worse. 4.) When you delete messages or purge them, the attachments sometimes don't get deleted in the seperate folder. OTOH sometimes the attachments disappeared even though the messages was parked.
