It is a losing battle, but IT didn't change the way Lotus Notes does things
to make my life difficult, they just changed the system to suit their ends.

As usual when IT people do things in big organizations they don't think very
much about users (to make a generalization). The result is that Lotus Notes
emails at our organization have a lot of useless information about whom
their sent to and whom their from before I ever get to the content of the
message.

As regards the script that both Paul and Allan  put some of their valuable
time into, I remain greatful.

Unfortunately its become a complicated piece of text processing with many
cases and exceptions which means that the script still only delivers about
80% of what I want. It would be far better to get Lotus Notes to redirect
the mail however its hard to find the time to learn Applescript which I want
to learn, let alone Lotusscript which I don't want to learn.

Should probably pay a programmer to write  a 3 line Lotus Notes script, and
if I can find someone I would.

Lotus Notes probably does most things that Entourage does, but I like
Entourage and I enjoy the Macintosh community being a rebel by nature.
