Is there much of a difference between Windows Live Mail and Window Live Desktop in the way that they store e-mails? Also, I have been messing around trying to learn multi-threading for programs. I have nearly completed a program that will extract the attachments from Live Mail messages. All you would have to do is point it at the directory, choose a location to save attachments, and see it go. I've seen another program do this, but they need Live Mail in order to work, this would be stand alone. Let me know if anyone is interested, I'm not charging anything for this one.
I have this tool
The supported format are Base64, UU, XX and yEnc and these are commonly used format for emailing system.
btw Could you include an option to use a defaut ? For example %APPDATA%\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\ in Windows Vista
Yes, I can do that. That is one of the great things about doing your own programs. Right now I only have the ability to decode base64. That is all I have seen come through on Live Mail. However this is a truly multi-threaded program that will read through all directories and sub-directories. This was just an attempt at a few new things, but I will include your request. It should be done within the next couple of days. I'll keep everyone posted here as this progresses. Thanks for the input. Anyone else with input please feel free to let me know.
