Peter, I do archive with Google mail, too, it is wonderful for retrieval. I forward everything interesting from the Macgroup to my google mail account , almost everything else goes to gmail direct . I also send articles as attachments to my gmail and then archive them.. " Tiger" is supposed to come out with a search engine for HD. Do you believe Apple will also have this sort of searching for the future mail accounts? Marta On Feb 11, 2005, at 19:40, Peter McGrath wrote:
