I have a full PM messenger and i tried archiving my messages to a html page that is sent to my email address, but when i receive the email, there is no attachment...just lots of text. I then chose to get sent the importable excel sheet with them, but i havent received it yet. Is there a problem with the feature or is it just me?

Not sure what happened to the previous archiving ways, but now the html format is getting e-mailed in a mime-encoded message. If your computer has the "munpack" command available, then you can save the entire e-mail message as a file, and then execute the "munpack" command on it to extract the PM message archive in html format. I haven't tried the Excel format to see what's up with that.

Thanks for the help smile.gif But i've just given up trying to get it to work. It's too hard sad.gif I just deleted them instead.
