Error when dropping msg from Outlook

[RalphM]

Hi Don
Just checked out the new message dropping feature, but I always get the following error message when trying it from Outlook 2003 SP2.

Code: Select all

Error 	432 (000001B0)
Desc	File name or class name not found during Automation operation
Dll	0
Proc	doDropStuff

Yep, could be reproduced! The message you dropped did not have a "message header" contained. The "message header" is needed to extract the fields information. So, I guess, your message was no received email...?

I should have mentioned: The <from>, <to>, and <date> fields are only available for received emails. Other dropped messages will just have the <subject> field filled.

Anyway, in the next version you won't see that ugly error message no more.

Wrong guess, I tried it with different mails, but all of them were from my "Received" folder and contain a header with all these infos.

Checked it again with 5.40.0033:
As announced the ugly message is gone. But apparently you fixed something else too, with the same msgs I tried before, I get "xxx.msg" files now, but the filename consists of the subject only, though the messages got a header stream. I'll forward one of them to your support mail address...

Yes, as stated in history:

Code: Select all

      Note that messages without a "message header" stream will populate 
      only the <subject> field. In this case the template will be 
      internally set to "<subject>" so that you don't see the bones and 
      remains of unavailable fields in the file name.

It still has to be asserted whether your messages do not have a "message header" or whether XY could not find it...

Is there an easy way for me to see if the message has the stream? All of my emails (Outlook 2003 on Exchange Server 2003) are coming out with just the subject as well.

Open one of those saved binary MSG files in a (hex) editor and look for a section that contains ASCII strings like "From:", "To:", "Date:", "Subject:" and so on. This is the message header. If you find the header then please send the file to me (packed in a zip), and I'll teach XY to find it, too. If you find none, then we have a problem.

I am facing the issue in dropped messages from outlook 2016.

When I try to drop Sent messages then file name is given current system date (&time) instead of the day it was sent.

is there a way to get the actual sent date in File name.

Welcome to the forum.
You resurrected a thread after almost 12 years - which in itself is okay, but your problem is a different one than what this thread originally was about (apart from dropping messages from outlook). Did you check your template in Configuration/Color and Styles/Templates/Dropped messages? Mine looks as follows

Code: Select all

<subject>_<date yyyy-mm-dd_hh-nn-ss>_fr_<from>_to_<to>

and gives me the correct date on dropped messages from Outlook 2013 32bit.

Thanks for reply Ralph,
regret reopening the thread as I could find it most near to my issue; guess should have created new.

I checked the template settings & custom copy setting.
<date yyyy-mm-dd-hhnn>_mail

But in Outllook 2016 / Windows-7 64 bit, I am still facing the issue.
The mails received from others are saved accurately.
But when I drag my mail it is saved with current date time.

I guess there is some difference between outlook 2016 & outlook 2013

Thanks.

I don't have Outlook 2016 / Windows-7 64 bit here for testing, but this (or has been) a fairly common combination, and I think it worked for others. Sorry, but I cannot say from here why it does not work you.

x64 -> x64

Outlook 2016(x64) -> XYPlorer ver 19.2 (x64) : success
XYPlorer ver 19.2 (x64) -> Outlook 2016(x64) : fail

needed XyPlorer able to have drag n drop attachment to outlook msg, currently work around is right-click file > send to > mail recipient and copy the attachment from the newly created to the email I am replying
