wodMailbox ActiveX Control - ScanText Property
      
 

Description

Determines if email text is scanned for UUEncoded attachments.


Property type

A Boolean value.  


Syntax

object.ScanText [= value]



The ScanText Property syntax has these parts:

Part Description
object An expression evaluating to an object of type Attachments.
value Boolean value that determines if text is scanned.
 

Remarks

ScanText property determines if wodMailbox will scan message body when it searches for attachments. Typically, attachments are created in separate message parts. However, some older Mail software put it directly into the message body.

For example, message text may look like this:

Hi John! Here are my attachments:

begin 666 A.cpp
M(VEN8VQU9&4@/'-T9&EO+F@^#0HC:6YC;'5D92 \9&QF8VXN:#X-"B-I;F-L
.....
%#0I]#0H`
`
end


And my explanation is that...

 

Problem is that this type of scan may be expensive in terms of time and CPU usage, so you have a choice NOT to perform mail scan (default value). Most mail clients today will send attachments in separate parts.
