Well, that does save some bandwidth, at least. Still, you are getting the headers no matter what. It seems (if I understand right) that the idea here is to make fetching mail work like fetching news...get all the headers, filter them, then do a delete/fetch on the bodies once the headers have been filtered. Is that what you have in mind? -- Bill Hartwell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MacManus Enterprises
