extract e-mail-addresses from the OE-folder
You are welcome and thanks for posting back.

Cheers Mario "Michael Santovec" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... One way to get the addresses is with this: SysExporter Outlook Express Tree Lists and Message Lists (NT/2000/XP) http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/sysexp.html. You can save the FROM column from the folder list. This assumes that the visitors just supplied their e-mail address and it shows in the From column. If the friendly name just shows, this won't work, and a more involved procedure is needed (see below). There's no need to put them in an address book unless you are planning to send to them repeatedly, and even then it's not necessary. You can simply paste a semicolon separated list of e-mail addresses into the BCC header (you won't want to use the TO or CC header since that will expose all the e-mail addresses to all the recipients). If the e-mail addresses don't appear in the From column, you can use Drag-and-Drop to save multiple e-mail messages at a time. - Open the Windows File Explorer to the folder (directory) that you want to save the messages to (e.g. C:\EML-TEMP). For minimal confusion, the folder should be empty or only used for saving mail messages. - In Outlook Express highlight the desired messages (Ctrl-Click or Shift-Click) - While holding down the Left mouse button, drag the messages to the Explorer window. If the Explorer window is not visible, drag to the Taskbar button for Explorer, keep holding the left mouse button down until Explorer moves to the front, then complete the drag to the Explorer window and then release the Left mouse button. - Complication: Messages are saved as *.EML files where the first part of the file name is the message's subject. If you save multiple messages in one drag-and drop operation, OE will automatically number the subsequent messages with identical subject to make the name unique. But if you later save additional messages with the same subject it will start the numbering process over again and you will get a "Confirm File Replace" dialog for the duplicate names. When this happens, leave the confirm dialog and switch to the Windows File Explorer. Rename the first file (e.g. rename "The Subject.EML" to "The Subject-1.EML"). Then switch back to the Confirm dialog and click on YES. The new message will get saved with the original name and the previous message will still be there with the new name. - You can then use the EML2TXT.BAT file (see below) to combine the *.EML messages into a single Text file. You will probably want to make some changes, such as the EML directory. See the comments (REM statements) in the file. Notes: - A mail message may get saved as a *.NWS file if it came as a reply from a newsgroup and it contains some headers that make it look like a news message. - As an alternative to Drag-and-Drop you can use a program to extract the contents of an mail folder file to individual *.EML files. These programs automatically generate unique names for the *.EML files - DBXtract - http://www.oehelp.com/DBXtract/Default.aspx - DBXpress - http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/Default.aspx - DBXtend - http://www.oehelp.com/DBXtend/Default.aspx - OEX Enhancements - Import/Export/Resend/Duplicates/Attachments, etc. http://www.oehelp.com/OEX/Default.aspx - Messages get added to the text file based on the order that the FOR statement finds them in the directory. You can't guarantee the message order. - The same will work with news (*.NWS) files. But you may get better results by using the Tools, Combine and Decode which lets you choose the order the messages get combined. Then you can do a File, Save As to the resulting combined message. However, the resulting file will only have the message headers from the first message. And there won't be any clear indication where one message ends and the next begins. This may or may not be a benefit. OE5+ (but not OE4) can also do a Combine and Decode on e-mail messages. EML2TXT.BAT and OUTDUMP.EXE - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_san...es/outdump.zip Then enter the following all on one line. I broke it up so that it would fit in this message. This extracts the addresses from the eml2txt.txt file and places in an address.txt file. find /i "from: " eml2txt.txt | find /v /i "from: " | find /v /i " from: " | sort address.txt You'll then need to do some editing of the address.txt file to get just the e-mail addresses on the line. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Mario Krsnic" wrote in message ... Hello, is it possible to extract all e-mail-addresses from some OE-folder. I have in a folder many mails from the visitors of my home page. Now I would like to thanks to all them with one message.
