<Bruce looks at his nested collection of about 125 mail folders> What? Of course you can make folders in Mail. You can also set rules to move mail into folders based on a lot of different criterion. You can also use rules to set colors either for the text or for the background. (both refer only to the text or background of the header line, not the email itself. See: <http://dbdev2.pharmacy.arizona.edu/miscjunk/mail_color_rules.png> One rule sets the background of any message from Dr. Murphy to green. Another sets the text of any message sent to 'Appointed' to red. You can perform multiple actions, and have multiple criteria. Mail's rules are quite powerful. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
