If we chose to label "INBOX" subfolder explicitly, they we could use "." instead of colon: INBOX --> . Foo --> ./.Foo Foo.Bar --> ./.Foo.Bar INBOX.Foo --> ./.INBOX.Foo INBOX.Foo.Bar --> ./.INBOX.Foo.Bar etc. Of course then some maroon would manually create a directory "./.INBOX", and the code would blow up. Of course my code would have the same problem with "./:". -- Lee Daniel Crocker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.piclab.com/lee/> "All inventions or works of authorship original to me, herein and past, are placed irrevocably in the public domain, and may be used or modified for any purpose, without permission, attribution, or notification."--LDC
