Attachments are downloaded when saving to the database to \EmailDatabase\temp. When the form is closed, all files are deleted. I prefer doing this, rather than saving it on the mysterious Windows temp directory. You pick the location where the files are to be saved, if you wish to save them, or you can double click just to view them.
This table consists of both recipients and attachments. Actual attachments have a blank cc. When email is downloaded, each recipient's email is checked in the address table. If an entry is found, and the Last Sent time of the address table is earlier, then it is updated with the time of the email.
The attachment fields are:
| • | ID. A running count |
| • | cc. This has the values F( From), T (To), R(Reply), etc., for list of recipients. It is blank for attachments. Once an attachment is saved, cc takes the value 'S'. |
| • | Keep. For addresses, if the address is not already in the address database, it will not add it to this database if keep is not checked. If the address is already in the email database, the address database will have Last Sent updated to the date of the email, and Keep will be unchecked. The reason is that you may decide that you do not want to keep the new addresses in the email. Someone sent you email with a lot of addresses, and you do not want to keep all these addresses. Uncheck Keep. |
| • | Name. The sender's name. If the sender sent email with a blank name, the name is taken from the email address. |
| • | From. This is the email address. |
| • | File. This is a file as an attachment. Double click on this to view or to run the file, using the default File Types defined in Windows Explorer. You may change the name, if you wish to save the name on your hard disk with a different name. |
| • | Directory. This is the directory where the file will be saved (if Keep is checked). You may change this using the various menu commands. Press the D in the upper left corner to download this file. When downloaded, Keep will be unchecked. Files will be saved automatically when the program saves to the email database, for Keep checked. |
