The Bat! message-import problem

So it's not a problem with TB, but with the format you used for your import. What was the source of the msg files? __________________________________ I'm just a user of The Bat!

The Bat! v4.2.4.

I don't think that I've had this problem with MSG files before, but of course, it might just be that I haven't noticed it until now.
