Mailbag Assistant seemed, when I first looked at it, like a superfluous program, but it's very helpful. Not only will it archive from TB!, but it will also take messages from other formats, so that you can retain the same archive files regardless of the source of the messages. You can also export directly from TB! into UNIX-type files. TB! messages can be appended to those files, so you can organize your messages into particular files, and, if desired, then into particular directories. UNIX-type files can be imported by many email clients, including TB!. Mailbag Assistant can store messages in various formats including UNIX (which it calls "generic"), but its compression only works with its native format; if needed, those files can be resaved as UNIX, and then become importable into many mail clients. As for your JPEGs, you might consider keeping attachments within the message right from the start. In my view, it facilitates housekeeping, keeps the attachments in the most logical place to find them, and keeps an accurate record of the email. Some say it also improves security, but I think there are better ways to address that issue. In any event, if you keep the attachments within the message envelopes, they archive right along with the messages. -- JN ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
