Howdy all,

1) I'm using v 1.1 of Queue, and 5.1 of the Objects - is there an update to what I've got?

2) For a couple of years now, I've been using Mailbee to retrieve the emails, take apart various headers, subject, etc. and store it into a database. That's worked good for the most part - but now I'm wondering if I can retrieve an email - and save the entire email in a folder on the server as some type of extension - html or whatever. Has anyone done this?

Thanks!

I see on this thread

http://www.afterlogic.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=455&PN=2

The bit to save - Question here. That example shows to save as .eml - I need it to open up in IE or Firefox - will that still open it? or should I save as .html ?

Ok,
Thank you for the replies. I am able to save the email with an .eml extension to a directory. I rename the email with the UID and seems to go okay.

I'm not sure what the purpose is of the link on displaying of HTML-formatted messages method, as the browser displays the .eml just fine on its own. Maybe i'm missing something?

Anyway, what I'm running into difficulty with is attachments. Inline attachments seem to save along with the .eml extension. But normal attachments just display the broken image icon, with the properties being a CID collection number.

All I do with the mailbee is download emails, I then will take various parts, subject, from, UID, store that in a database table, and save the email into a folder on the server - where my custom lead manager program can open up and view. But how do I handle the attachments? I've read in the docs and the forums the bits on how to collect, how to save, how to remove. But cannot seem to find anything to save - yet still let the .eml display the attachment.

Should I save the attachments, remove them - then just create another table to save the attachments in with the UID of the email as a reference point?

Hope this makes sense.

Web browsers cannot display .eml files. If your web browser does, it means you have an ActiveX installed on your machine which implements rendering .eml files inside web browser, but please note, the majority of users doesn't have such ActiveX installed.

To display HTML bodies and in-line attachments contained in .eml files, you should follow the instructions described in Displaying HTML-formatted messages tutorial.

GetBodyWithEmbeddedObjectsEx method allows saving in-line attachments into a temporary place and fix links to them in HTML body, so web browser is able to display them correctly.

Attachment.SaveFile method allows you to save "normal" attachments.

Also, you may download MailBee WebMail Lite ASP and research its source code to learn how to correctly display HTML formatted messages with embedded objects.

Best regards,
Andrew

sure enough,
Tried it on a 2nd computer - it displayed, tried it on a third - it borked....
but that was IE6, the other 3 computers are IE7.

Maybe IE7 will render them, I don't know but either way Firefox wont, and while I have great control over users browsers - i'd like to give those two choices at least.

Thanks, I'll poke through the code.
