eMail Extractor 1.6.3

A very simple way to extract email addresses from text files

This is actually my second time to use eMe. I was so impressed by the demo version (several builds earlier) that I ran through a few demos of others and came back to it. I'm very glad that I did.

What I found:

Really easy drag and drop application. Basically, drag a file onto the window and the application does the rest. But, in addition, eMe finds bad addresses, bad formatting and can process huge lists very quickly. Very effective for email list management, business mailings or to use your inbox messages to reassemble your email address book should you lose your data or want to use another address application.

How easy was it to install? Again, simple. Disk image mounted quickly and, although the demo only extracts 100 messages, it was surprisingly easy right out of the gate!
How clear were the instructions? I never got that far! The GUI is still in Aqua, however, the info is right there for you. It doesn't get much easier than this...

Likes?

Can I say that again? EASY, SIMPLE, FACILE, and meets the need - should you have it - in a way that saves a lot of time. Fair price for what this does as well.

Dislikes?

I'd like to see some GUI options for skin, brushed metal (yea, I'm one of the few who like it), output but that is all aesthetic.

How does it compare to the alternatives available that serve this purpose? : Extraction functions are available from a number of vendors. My feeling is that MaxProg has done the best job of keeping up with function and reliability - even under Panther - and keeps the price right.

Would you recommend this product to a friend? Definitely.
