Does this mean that you only need a portion of the list's messages?

IIRC that tool used Outlook Express messages to generate the raw email text files, yes? So, the only thing I have to do is import those messages which are not in the MTS archives from Outlook into Outlook Express, and send you the OE's dbx file. Thinking of it, I can even use that tool to generate raw email files, and then ZIP them up and send them to you so that you would have less work to do. I will probably need the tool because I don't remember if I still have it floating around on my HD (don't even remember what we called it!). So, let me know what I need to do. > That's a secondary issue for me at this point (although I welcome > anyone who wants to tackle the project).
