Eric, YOu can probably automate at least 80% of this with apple script. I haven’t worked with Mail’s AppleScript interface in 1/2 dozen years, but one can easily get date sent sender etc. In current Macintoshes, you can also use JavaScript to interface with the Apple automation platform. If you want to do this for 100’s of messages, it would certainly be worth automating. Hmm, I wonder if default folder X or one of the keyboard macro programs could do it also. Jonathan
