  • Export Messages to text files

    From Beery@21:4/109 to All on Sat Jan 14 13:18:23 2023

    I want to be able to export new messages from one of my message bases out as individual text files (ex, 1.txt, 2.txt, etc) as they are received.

    Is there a way to accomplish this within Mystic?

    You'll need to find some code for JAM message base reading. There are enough around.

    Or how about goldedit, or any other offline JAM mail reader, to export some messages. Mystic has a option in Mutil to generate a file for goldedit to read all bases.

    oP!

    Yes, use the X key to export, this works for me when logged in locally.
    I can then state a path and file name (windows or Linux depending on your OS) and it will export the message out to a text file.
