I am replying to this myself as I have a solution. I found a utility that runs on
NT4 and W2K server that will allow editing of files with bat files.
I was able to add lines (2 lines!) to my original batch process to format the
information as I wanted. I can see lots of potential for this utility with IMail to
get visibility to info for mail management...
The program is called texttool at website www.fireflysoftware.com.
Cost is 29.00...
