.eml files

Hi, Emrys.

Yes. Each message will be in a separate .eml file, which is a plain
text
file with some metadata - and a long cryptic name created by WLM. If
you
want to see them, first find the path to your Message Store by
clicking
Tools | Options | Advanced | Message | Store Folder. Then use Windows
Explorer to browse to that folder. Find the subfolder that
corresponds to
one of your Mail Accounts and look into that folder's Inbox folder.
As you
will see, the actual filenames are inscrutable, but if you click on
one, you
can easily read it. In fact, if you click Explorer's Organize |
Layout menu
and turn on the Details Pane, you can read each message without even
opening
it.

Those strange filenames are indexed, of course, so that WLM can show
them to
you. But that index is kept in the Mail.MSMessageStore file which is
not
ordinarily readable, at least not by me.

We'll need on of the WLM gurus to guide us from here. As Paul Harvey
used
to say, "Don't ask me for details. I've already told you more than I
know."
