Dug :) Basically what you said although it would be nice to also be able to put other characters in as well such as spaces, hyphens, commas etc.
Used to update to the latest beta every day. Now I have children instead…
Windows 10 Pro x64 (everywhere except phone…)

Sure.

Once I got your MSG files, I'll give it a try.

Is there anybody (apart from myself) who can drop messages from Outlook to XY as expected? It seems that on some systems not all the fields that can be used for the filename template can be extracted...

Sorry, but I don't use Outlook at all so I can't be of any help here...I use webmail most all of the time, and then use Outlook Express on rare occasion to backup/download selected emails to my local system...
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!
(XP on laptop with touchpad and thus NO mouse!) Using latest beta vers when possible.

I'm going to give this a go with some of the other computers in the office and see if it's just me.

Take the latest BETA. I tried another low-hope voodoo...

Just checked it again with 5.40.0037 and the resulting filename was "Return receipt_(date -)_fr_(from -)_to_(to -).msg".
(my template is set to: "<subject>_<date yyyy-mm-dd_hh-nn-ss>_fr_<from>_to_<to>")
So we got some static content now, but unfortunately still not the real dynamic one.
