I'm sorry to disappoint you, but TB doesn't alter the messages while downloading them from the server. What you're seeing is the way those characters are encoded in the original message.
When displaying the message TB (and your ISP's webmail client) translate that into the character that's meant to be shown.
However, when it saves them to file, it stores the raw text.

When you need the message headers as well, you might consider to use the export feature in stead of the save text feature. When you save a message as .eml or .msg it's stored in a plain text format, but the headers are included. The only problem with this is that you cannot give a file name when you use Tools -> Export messages to -> .msg
TB automatically numbers the message(s) that you selected for export.

It seems that bat does modify email content while fetching it from mail server - I've checked messages.tbb file and "=" marks are changed to "=3D". "View message source" also shows "=3D" marks. Same with euro.
So it's just a way bat works.
A way to walk around this problem is to hit "alt f5" and manually add message headers to file created that way. It takes some time but you get raw email content - which is sometimes needed.
Thanks anyway.

Are you sure that TB changes the content whiole saving it? Isn't it a case of TB showing you what's meant, but saving what's really there?
Press F9 while viewing a message and compare the shown source with the exported file.

I'm afraid that this behaviour can't be changed.

Hello!

I've noticed that bat does change email content while exporting/saving it to a file. For example it changes equation symbol to "=3D", euro sign to "=80".
I suppose it is a feature, not a bug. Is there a way to save/export a message exactyly as it is ?
Changing character encodings does not help... but I hope you will help me.

Bat version is 3.95.6
