New in eMail Extractor 3.4.2 (Aug 18, 2010)

  • New features
  • Email Address extraction from single web pages (by dragging & dropping URLs).
  • Finally eMail Extractor is able to process web pages. It has been a top requested feature for the last few years however for obvious reasons*, it has to be used very carefully. To extract email addresses from a web page you just need to drag and drop the URL from your browser to the eMail Extractor window. The page is then downloaded and processed in the background. For the first URL you are asked for the output file. Then you can drag and drop as many URLs as you find to get them processed and results added to the same file. It is that simple!
  • *Note that eMail Extractor as none of our products were designed for spamming so it is important you know what emails you are extracting and what you are about to send to their owners. We provide this killer feature to make your life easier and because most of you have asked for it but remember, it is good as long as it is used properly.
  • Email Address extraction from plain text
  • As we developed the previous feature we also added the ability to process plain text by drag and drop. You just need to select some text in an application and then drag and drop it to eMail Extractor window. Note that not all the applications will let you drag text though but most text editors will. It works fine for example with BBEdit, TextWrangler, TextEdit, WordPad and Microsoft Word.
  • Email Address extraction from the Clipboard
  • For the applications where text drag is not supported just use the clipboard. Select your text, copy it, switch to eMail Extractor and paste. This method is compatible with every single application on your system because all of them give you access to the system clipboard thru the 'Edit | Copy' and 'Edit | Paste' menus. You can of course use equivalent shortcuts (Cmd-C/Cmd-V on the Mac and Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V on Microsoft Windows).
  • UTF-8, UTF-16 and UCS4 encodings support
  • UTF-8, UTF-16 and UCS-4 encodings belong to the Unicode standard. In previous eMail Extractor versions there were no support for such encodings. As a result, a file could not be properly processed and sometimes email extraction were impossible. New eMail Extractor v3 fixes this problem giving full support for the UTF-8, UTF-16 and UCS-4 encodings.
  • Optimizations
  • Real multiple processing thru independent threads.
  • Interface more responsive when dropping huge amount of files.
  • Application doubles the number threads in order to perform twice as fast.
  • Enhancements
  • New rules added to extractor.
  • Several interface and speed enhancements.
  • New menu for checking whether a new version of the software is available.
  • Changes
