Vista - Corruptions When Saving EML as a TXT file

Hello MS;

How does one save as an email without getting the =nn corruption all through the message
I would like to be able to save the header and everything without getting the
=nn corruption because like 14.95 suddenly becomes =2414.95 or something
like that ??


Earlier versions of MSOE did not corrupt things like that.

Maybe you can tweak the registry in Vista to stop that from
happening in Windows Mail ??

Comments welcome.
Solutions even more welcome.

news:ehPE258rJHA.4648@xxxxxxThe only way I know to make the headers appear also shows the
raw coding of the message. If the message was sent in quoted
printable format, that will include =nn codes. One possibility
is to persuade the senders not to use quoted printable format.
Another is to persuade them not to use any characters that
require coding.

If you decide you need to save such messages anyway, I'd
suggest trying this: Save the message as a text file, without
any effort to add the header. Then open this saved copy in
a text editor, such as Notepad. Go back to Windows Mail,
and while viewing the message, press the Ctrl and F3 keys
at the same time. Click at one end of the header. While
holding down the left mouse button, move the cursor to the
other end of the header, which ends just before the first
blank line. Click the right mouse button, move to Copy,
and cleck the right mouse button. Now go back to the
window in which you opened the saved file in the editor,
decide where you'd like to put the entire header, click there,
then right click there, then move the cursor to Paste and
click there. This should leave you with both the full header
and a condensed version of it; erase the condensed version.
Now save the resulting file, and check if it's closer to what
you want.

Message | Combine and decode will give the messages without the codes in the
original message, but it won't include the headers. One can just save the
eml file and rename it to txt and then open in Notepad and do a search and
replace for the codes to get rid of them.
