Lotus Notes Mail Exporting – add a feature, add a bug!

Lotus-Notes-Mail_exporter-v9 With v0.8, I added the feature “don’t create the same attachment, in the same attachment folder, if it already exists.”

And I added a bug.  The bug would crash LNME when this happened:

  1. Find duplicate attachment file name
  2. Extract the new attachment to the %temp% directory.

It would crash if the “new” attachment was corrupted.  And here’s the irony, the old section of code had a trap for exactly this sort of behaviour.  When I coded the new section, I forgot to put in the error trapping.

Doh!

Like I said for v0.8, the next version (v0.91 maybe) will use a list table, which is a better way of detecting duplicate files/attachments across directories.

Other changes for the future:

  • Export task entries
  • Export to Outlook
    (unlikely to happen until Microsoft publishes the PST file format)
  • Rich Text Export(?)
    An example of an Rich Text object is a picture which has been pasted into the message body.
  • Appointments & Meetings are missing the body of the meeting/attachment.
  • Tasks
