If you just want to keep your messages, but do not have much of a need for reviewing or sorting them, then just export the messages to a UNIX file and append them. You can set up a filter from TB!, which will either run automatically or manually. If you need to refer to the messages again, you would probably have to create a temporary folder in TB!, then import the file. It's a slight pain, but not much. (If you have to do that step, just be sure to export whatever additional messages you send after you import and process the previously exported messages.) On the other hand, if you anticipate having to re-read the messages or reply to them or extract information from them with any type of regularity, or if disk space is an issue, then Mailbag Assistant may be worth it. Try the trial. -- JN ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
