>>Any change to the headers or email body is not acceptable, because if I

>>I manage approximately 20 email accounts with Powermail and they receive

>>>well, it's a workaround and not ideal: when forwarding, forward a copy to

>>>have seen it already and not to reforward it and blablabla. not elegant.

>>>guess the basic question is, why so complicated and forwarding to an
>>>archive account? why not just an apple script which sets it to a specific
>>>account and filters it into its own folder right where you are?
>>>
>>>when you forward, it does not quote btw, it only quotes when you hit
>>>reply. but it does put in a FWD and the header/footer info of begin/end
>>>forwarded message.
>>>
>>>most easy way would be to have only the archive account download and
>>>DELETE emails from the server. So you just get the files, and
>>>attachments, i.e. download them but no forwarding, nothing. When you are
>>>on your archive system, you download AND delete the messages from the
>>>server. can be set in the preferences. even set to delete messages older
>>>than etc. I use this system with my powerbook and desktop machine and
>>>that works well.
