Hello TB User Discussion List and TB Beta List,
I started keeping a log of all message filtering back on
July 29, 2003. I did this by adding an "Export the message"
action.
I use default settings (Plain text and Append to existing
file). For the Template I have (for this group):
%Date="yymmddhhnnss" tbudl
This produces a line for each message containing a time
stamp followed by a short name for the last filter the mail
went through.
So from 2003 through most of August 5, 2006, it had one
entry per line for each message filtered.
But late in the day of 8/5/06, it began double spacing all
of the lines! I changed nothing, except probably the
version of The Bat!.
Then on February 5, 2007, all hell broke lose! Looking at
the last double spaced entry and the first wacky format:
070205160609 spam^M
^M
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL
PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@ [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL
PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
This is how my editor (Gvim) displays it. It uses unix
format for this mess (lines end with a LF) and ^M is how it
shows the CR. The ^@ is a hex 00. This looks like some
style of Unicode.
If the above is confusing, here's how those two lines look
in a hex dump:
0033 8d50 0d 0a 30 37 30 32 30 35 31 36 30 36 30 39 20 73 ..070205160609 s
0033 8d60 70 61 6d 0d 0a 0d 0a 30 00 37 00 30 00 32 00 30 pam....0.7.0.2.0
0033 8d70 00 35 00 31 00 36 00 31 00 31 00 35 00 31 00 20 .5.1.6.1.1.5.1.
0033 8d80 00 73 00 70 00 61 00 6d 00 0d 00 0a 00 0d 0a 30 .s.p.a.m.......0
I can easily convert my 200,000 line file back to normal.
But how can I get The Bat! to write Plain Text files again?
I have copied the beta group because I believe the February
change to wacky text was in a beta release.
