The problem iirc, is that different file and operating systems support different characters and have different rules. Courier's maildirs make use of characters that aren't supported on windows. Your best bet would be rsync support (or hacking it yourself) to do a regex replace on destination file names to strip or replace illegal (from the destination of perspective) characters... OR to hack courier and stop it at the source... there might be a constant defined somewhere for the "separator" character (i.e. the , ?) just a few thoughts. m/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
