Summary: Problems moving messages between pst and Exchange

Initial Comment:
If a message's clues are viewed when on the Exchange 

server, and compared to the same message moved to a 

pst file, the clues are not the same.  It appears (I 

haven't examined closely yet; can do on request) that 

on Exchange the html part of the message is used, and 

in the pst, it isnt'.



Probably related to this is the problem that moving a 

message back and forwards between Exchange and a 

pst file (showing clues each time) results in an ever-

increasing number of tokens.



It doesn't appear to be the PR_SEARCH_KEY changing:



>>> key1 = "PR_SEARCH_KEY       : '\n\x02\xde\xfd7\xf6

\xa7A\x93\xfd\xf3\xb1\xfeA\x16\xf9'"

>>> key2 = "PR_SEARCH_KEY       : '\n\x02\xde\xfd7\xf6

\xa7A\x93\xfd\xf3\xb1\xfeA\x16\xf9'"

>>> key1 == key2

True



Next thing to try?  :)

Are we going to be able to get identical token streams?  

Attached are two 'show clues' messages, for the same 

message, on a pst and on Exchange.  26 clues for one, and 

28 for the other.  This is a plain text message.



The extra two clues arise because Exchange html'ises the 

plain text message and so the words in the subject also 

appear in the body.

The underlying bug seems to be

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=798029&group_id=61702&atid=498103

- however, as it looks like we will be almost

"hand-crafting" the HTML of the message, I will leave this

open, as we may still end up with bugs if the html we

generate isn't identical (token-wise) to the MS one.

The dump_props are attached.



If I just move the messages about, doing 'show clues', then 

no training takes place.  I think my original comment was 

wrong - trying now, I get the same number of tokens no 

matter how many times I move (although the exchange count 

and pst count are different).  Anyway, the log (at verbose=1) 

doesn't show anything apart from the "already trained as 

ham" message.



If I train a message I get not that much more.  pst first:

"""

spam

 -> C:\Documents and Settings\tameyer.MASSEY\Application

"""

and moving it back to Exchange:

"""

Does this help?
