CanOpener has no save ability (it can save out data, but can't resave into the data you are looking at), so it is safe to use... but be VERY careful with things like Text Wrangler that can save into the file. If you accidentally save into the mail database, you can be sure it will be well damaged and potentially unusable by Emailer from then on. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
