Its not a good idea to sort on subject. Consider this scnario: Andy posts to clug, asking for replies offlist because its sort of on topic, but slightly personal or commercial Andy's message goes to all the list members with [clug] in the subject line Bruce replies off list Andy's email box sorts it to the clug folder, even though it is private offlist stuff. Better IMHO to sort on a line that the server has put there (as Chris S suggested). > > Cheers for anything you might be able to manage > > Andy, the kinda organised, George >
