It does not, by default, recognize the file type of Entourage mail folder files, but if you use one of the utility programs that can change creator code and file type, and change it to, say, a "TEXT" file created by "ttxt" or even "MSWD" (Word), Digest Viewer will then read it and parse it neatly into messages, with all the subject lines displayed at the top just like in Entourage.

Other options entirely for archiving: Consider getting John Carlsen's "eMessage Archiver" package, which will archive scripts to FileMaker Pro databases. There is even a version for folks who don't own FMP, that comes with a runtime version of FileMaker so you can use this database. Shareware, but very low cost. A free but less thorough archiving program is the adaptation of Dan Crevier's Filemaker package, available on my script web site (see URL below). -- My web page: <http://home.earthlink.net/~allenwatson/> My scripts page: <http:homepage.mac.com/allenwatson> Microsoft MVP for Mac Entourage/Word--<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
