G'Day Shawn thats a beautifully neat trick! Does this also address Doug Lloyd's "Modest Proposal" suggestion? Reason I ask is that I was about to volunteer setting up a data base in response to 4 expressions of interest from Paddlewisers. But 4 is pretty borderline! Strikes me that your technique meets the requirement with no need for a special database. Is it adaptable to other mail servers? - Does anyone know of a freeware software routine which could merge email files to make your approach universal?
