Prevent File Overwrite by Adding Suffix Number

I’d like to print a folder of emails from Thunderbird using . The files are nicely named with the Subject. But when another email is encountered with the same Subject, it is skipped. So instead of fifty files, I get twenty.

As I was looking for a solution, someone described using a command line to trigger suffix numbers to be added to prevent overwriting the file. I don’t see that option within the Options box. Is it there and I’m missing it?

Hi,


you can add a or token after the .
Which version are you using? In version >1.9 a suffix number should automatically get added in case a file with the same name already exists in the target folder.

best regards,


That would explain it! I’m using 1.7.3, installed by NiNite. 

Thanks!
