  1. The problem is fairly simple, even if the solution is slightly more difficult. The "bit after the Body" is an offset into the rich text field, with the 2.10c in the URL {Link} referring to the third (0,1,2) Body item, and the offset 10c bytes into that item's data. Yuck! Midas could calculate the correct offset for you, or you could cycle through the rich text CD records yourself, or Midas could simply copy the darn things correctly in the first place, or you could use DXL to get the offsets, or you could ...

    Anyway, the part I am most surprised by is that AppendRTItem doesn't copy the images. That doesn't sound correct. In-line images are usually just CD records, and thus are copied as part of the CD stream. Is it possible that these are CDStorage images? Check the database setting to see if the Display images after loading flag is set on the source database (it is on the first tab). This nasty setting forces the images into CDStorage files, which are very handy when you need them (I use them in CoexEdit), but a pain in the neck when you don't. Can you see if the setting is set? If so, the images will be broken because the attachments are not there.
