Manually editing that sample could make it up.
Tonite I may find some time for this, if you want to.
I have some sample .msg but without my CD catalog working, cannot locate them, sorry.

Thanks, but I would need to make sure that latest Outlook format works. Somebody here must have some test messages...

Here's a email file that came with Windows Mail. I've exported it to .msg format with Outlook '07. Well, I dragged it over into XYplorer, and a msg file spawned...
But it doesn't seem to be plain text.
Additionally, the original eml file (Windows Mail file format, plaintext) for no reason.

Thanks! The "MSG preview" column script fails on the MSG but works fine with the EML...
Conc. the original topic: MSG preview totally fails in XY so I will have to offcially withdraw this feature until I mastered those preview handlers...

Working to intercept sender, but body message is already supported for .msg with another code I wrote.
Don: the longer the code, the slower the list is drawn?

Is there some <cc_ext> in the board?

No.

Having it, I could put all 3 formats to work under a single column.
Otherwise, only 2 msg formats support, and an extra column is required for .eml files.

Why not this?
Code: Select all
$ext = getpathcomponent(<cc_name>, "ext");

Got it working now - I was doing something completely stupid so getpathcomponent wouldn't work in any way.
Uploading soon - must complete the .eml support now.

Good enough?
Don - the longer the code, the slower the list draws? Or is it because return is dealing with lengthy entries?
Depending on the answer, I can improve the code prior to publishing it.

I don't think there should be notable speed reductions. But then I don't know your code. Any wait-loops?
