Attachments - To know the name of the file, How to know the name of attached files when they have been deleted

Hi,

TB version: 9.3.1 64 bit on Win10

Situation: I receive an email with attachments . Usually, I store the attachments in other place, and delete from the original email My question is: is there any way to know what attachment were in the email?

Same in the case when you send an email with attachments: I don't want to maintain the attachment, only to know the file/s attached. Is there any way?


I'm user of Eudora (yes, Eudora :) ) with another account and the files attached that have been deleted (in email received) are marked with a red X as no available but you know the name of the file/s

In the case of sent emails, only the name of the file/s appears and the file/s isn't stored (if you forward the email and the file doesn't exist in the original folder, a message appears telling that isn't possible to load"


Thanks in advance

When you have actually deleted the attachments fr om the message, I don't think there's any way to still see their names later on..

Maybe you should configure The Bat to store attachments separately from the messages, and then delete the attachments from the folder in which they've been stored. I haven't tried that and I do not know if it will work, but I can't think of any other possible solutions. To do so, go to the account properties and look under Files & Directories for the options relating to file attachments (that's for POP3, I don't know wh ere these options are for IMAP accounts).

Another idea that probably won't help : Maybe you can turn on Verbose logging to see if The Bat stores any information about attachments in its log files.

Hi,
I checked information inside of emails and I discovered that in TB isn't stored the info about attachments as Eudora (I don't know others) makes.
In Eudora there is a line with this info (the file attached is "pepe.pdf"):

<a href="file://C:\datos\Eudora\attachments\pepe.pdf" file="file://C:\datos\Eudora\attachments\pepe.pdf" EUDORA=ATTACHMENT>
<img src="file://c:\datos\eudora\icons\1dee5966.jpg" alt="pepe.pdf"> pepe.pdf </a>

In TB doesn't exist, so , no possible to make my desire

I discovered a possible solution (I recognize very tricky) using the macro "%OAttachments" or "%Attachments". The "problem" is when you don't have any attachment, that in that field appears "<none>"

New question: is possible to make a boolean action in the templates? Something similar to: if(%OAttachments != "<none>") %OAttachments


Thanks in advance

Please read the documentation about Macros. There are commands like @IF, etc, but I don't know if they will do what you want.
