Robert,
I do have a Hotmail account. From his screen shot and as far as I can
tell, 'cos I just tried the same (red x's give a clue) he has indeed
done a file>save as HTML for offline viewing, that's the default
setting for saving. I can't see how he would be able to "rescue"
them into OE?




That's what I was afraid of.   That eliminates my best case, that the
file is just the implementation of a fully supported local cache.

Did you do a View Source of that page to see how extractable the key
data for new headers would be? E.g. if you want to try an experiment
look at the headers for an E-mail which you sent in your Sent Items folder
(e.g. using Ctrl-F3). Or better yet save it to a file (e.g. example.eml). Use that as a template in which you replace the data for the key
headers in it with the equivalent data from the saved message in the HTML.
Then copy either the message content or the whole message and insert
it between the template's control headers which look like this:

<examples>
------=_NextPart_000_0CB2_01C56888.1367FC30
Content-Type: text/html;
charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

------=_NextPart_000_0CB2_01C56888.1367FC30--
</examples>

thus replacing your original message in  example.eml.

BTW I am assuming that the numbers in the NextPart... string are
only used for identification purposes. If they have any control function
such as content checking we would have to research that and figure out how
to compose new numbers which were valid for the new data we inserted.

Once all this is done you would have an .eml file which sufficiently
represented a message which, though originally was saved only as HTML, could then be dragged into a local folder and listed and viewed by OE
as if it had arrived there more conventionally.


Good luck

Robert

I will check this out when I have more time, Robert. Maybe at the weekend. Things are a bit screwy/hectic (personally) here at the moment. I will let you know my results.
