If it doesn't From-stuff, how does it handle messages that might contain text such as From a load of junk 42 Subject: this isn't really a message nor is this the body

No, MMDF is also a bulk folder format. The only file-per-message support that I know of is the virtual folder method I mentioned earlier. Cheers, Uday
