Thanks for the info starworker.

Sounds like a lot of work to me. If I am really desperate some night I will try it though. Hopefully the fix for this problem is not far away. *Crossing fingers*

Its a lot of work for sure, especially if you have lot of emails. But it is faster doing it this way, systematically, than just trying to read through every email looking for the culprit. Hopefully we will get some error tracking tools as well someday, so that we can see the faulty email, and send it in to the author in a later edition.

Most likely because you have forgot to do a mailsave within SWG. Log in to SWG, do /mailsave

This will copy all your emails to your harddrive. The process may take several minutes if you have a lot of messages. You will get a confirmation message when all the messages have been saved to your harddrive.

Now try to start merchants friend.

Woot!!! Fanastic program... Tried it and love it... I even recommend it to a fellow merchant friend... What took me hours to tot up a sales figures now takes less than 10 mins

To minimize the issue even further, before you /mailsave, delete all emails that are any type of alert like they type you recieve from your factory. As well, if you sell product that is named with 2 lines (I do that with stautes), unfortunately, you'll have to delete those as well. Once you do that, the chances of getting a bad email are greatly diminished.

I discovered this after countless times of finding the bad email and its always the factory messages or statues I sell.

This is great news! I use this program all the time to cut my crafters weekly payments. I set the percentage that each crafter gets and all I have to do is load my mails and there it is - so and so gets this amount of credits.... etc. Plus I have always loved the customer list so that I was able to send out thank you notes or e-mails of special sales. Keep up the great work on this can't live without it tool.
