Email Settings control how FileLocator Pro searches through email repositories, such as MSG and PST files. The options are:
Include parent message name in attachment name |  | If this option is checked an attachment prefixes the parent message's name to its name, e.g. An attachment name "Welcome.png" would be named something like "RE:Hello from Mythicsoft - File: Welcome.png". This is useful if you want to search by the parent message name AND attachment name at the same time.
Add separate message body text attachment |  | With this option checked each message has a separate .txt file attachment with the message body text. This is useful if you want to extract the message body as a text file from a group of emails.
Remove HTML markup from message body |  | If the message body contains HTML this option will remove the markup from the HTML to try and present cleaner text.
Thunderbird Since the default Thunderbird mailbox file has no extension and treating all files without an extension as MBOX files would be an expensive search operation the product uses the Thunderbird Profile configuration to determine where files without an extension are read as MBOX files. If you need to search through Thunderbird mbox files outside of the Thunderbird profiles either add the location of the mbox files to the Thunderbird Profile or give the mbox files a .mbox extension. For more information on Thunderbird search please see Thunderbird Searching.
