Force of > habit I guess - I am a great pack-rat. I do the same thing. I only archive hot topics or messages of particular interest. Mine are subfolders of the list. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your setup when you say the Entourage message was in same folder as OSX archive folder. I have a Talk Lists folder with subfolders: Entourage talk GoLive talk Mac-L list OS X lsit These subfolders have subfolders for saved messages. Although I do have a general Mac tips folder that I use rather than having individual subfolders for lists like Mac-L and OS X. > > I could keep all the messages in the one folder where they are saved by the > MLM, but since I view messages in a pseudo threaded fashion the new messages > would be scattered throughout the folder.

If you wanted everything in one folder you could use custom mail views to sort them by list. -- Diane Ross, Microsoft Mac MVP Entourage Help Page <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> One of the top five MS Entourage resources listed on the Entourage Blog. <http://blogs.msdn.com/entourage/> -- 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/>
