Well, with 11,000 entries this is a pretty big manual project. I imported my "sales" mailbox which has about 3 years of mail in it...and apparently many of our customers have changed there "full name" specs or have slightly different ones depending on which mailer they use (I suppose mine is different at home than at the office also)......I guess I'll be exporting to process the mailing list and then re-importing, but I'll lose all of the name information which is too bad. thanks, Dennis -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
