Its a little tricky, but you can get SL to index anything, see this hint for the details: <http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050514182520714&query=spotli ght> I don't have access to SL here now, but I would be curious what happens if you run: SetFile -t TEXT foo.eml on a email file, and would setting the file type from M822 to TEXT break it from working with e-rage again? I am still hopeful E-rage will get an update that can fix this, I have been watching how fast <http://www.ctmdev.com/powermail5.html> was able to make this happen, and they also use a proprietary db format for messages. They totally did it right as well, as SL found results don't just pop open the email, but do so in the applications bounds, very nice. Still not enough to get me to switch, but for a bare bones email client, its getting closer... nudge :-) -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Haneda Tel: 415.898.2602 <http://www.newgeo.com> Novato, CA U.S.A. -- 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/>
