Jacques B Posted November 16 Report Share Posted November 16 Is there a way to search for all emails where the subject is blank? I know you can display all emails and then reverse sort on subject to group them together. But I'd like to be able to identify them using a search term, and then tag them. I run several tasks after processing to tag stuff for the investigator. See attached listing the processes that I run on a PST (we are a MS shop).

Marco de Moulin Posted November 21 Report Share Posted November 21 Hello Jacques, I created a crawler script which you can run when indexing a source. It looks for empty subject lines (or just a space) and tags those with 'crawlerscript/No Subject' or 'crawlerscript/Single Space Subject'. https://github.com/vound-software/intella-crawler-scripts/blob/main/samples/basic/tag_no_subject.py The tasks from your document, are you doing these manually?

Jacques B Posted November 21 Author Report Share Posted November 21 Thanks Marco, I'm currently running 2.5 (waiting for license renewal to go through to upgrade to 2.6). Are Python scripts supported in 2.5 as well? Jacques Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco de Moulin Posted November 21 Report Share Posted November 21 Hi Jacques, Crawler scripts were introduced in 2.6. Unfortunately, it is not going to work in version 2.5. Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques B Posted November 21 Author Report Share Posted November 21 Thanks. I'm looking forward to exploring the power of crawler scripts. I know you have a discussion on that specifically and I'm excited to see how I can make use of it. I am pleased that it supports Python as that's the language I am familiar with.

Marco de Moulin Posted November 22 Report Share Posted November 22 Hi @Jacques B You mentioned that searching for emails with empty subject lines helped in a previous case. I'm curious to learn more about how that specific search strategy assisted your investigation. Could you provide some additional details? Regards, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques B Posted November 22 Author Report Share Posted November 22 Hi Marco, It's one of our investigators who mentioned that it's one of the methods they use, the premises being that someone sending something to themselves or someone else that is not work related (and thus possibly related to the misconduct being investigated) may skip putting in a subject. I don't know if it materialized into producing evidence. But I thought it was a good approach so I want to add that to my initial pre-processing and tag all such emails automatically for the investigators who want to avail of that approach.

Marco de Moulin Posted November 22 Report Share Posted November 22 Thank you for the clarification. That makes sense! I will run it on some cases to see if I get interesting results. Marco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
