Save email message with unique file name?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello - I am trying to save every inbound message as a local file with a unique file name. I thought I would use %message_id% but unfortunately I am having a hard time saving the file with message_id because I believe the message_id can contain special characters or is too long.
What other way can I generate a unique file name or modify message_id to work?

The way I am create the file is with Read/Write Text File component and saving the %msg_mimetext% in the body of the file.

Thank you

	Typically I use %msg_subject%%msg_date% this should be sufficient to make a per message file unique Although I haven't used this myself the Set Variable action has an operation to create a GUID, this might work for file names
