Januk,
Regarding your message dated: 17 September 2000...
JA> That's interesting. I had originally tried it this way too, and it

I have local delivery enabled too - but I sent the trigger email from
Pine running on a unix box thus avoiding the problem, without really
doing it for that reason intentionally.
JA> What about putting some sort of code in your template and filter so

A good idea although it might require a bit of thought on my part
since I've not done that before with TB!

Yes - that sounds much like what I set up a few years ago under the
work's unix box for myself. Reminder emails (Birthday's etc) plus
one-off events, command executions and so on through some small apps I
wrote that co-ordinate their activities through unix's cron daemon
which I found to be more flexible than the Task Scheduler which was
quite developmental (in feel at least) back then. TB! certainly does
seem to be very capable as a commandline 'scriptable' app. though so
if I end up PC bound at any point I'll have confidence that I can
recreate the same functionality I already have elsewhere.

JA> Now just remember, don't send it to yourself by e-mail. That would

Good tip - I'll heed that one I think.
Best wishes,
Mark
