I don't tend to do that in all of the lists. Whenever a new beta is released, I usually keep everything for awhile in TBBeta and the "mid:"; certainly makes referencing a snap .. assuming the poster includes one. :) LG> Now if we could just get the archive tweaked where mids could be LG> gotten from there, then life would be good! <Grin> I haven't had to use the archives in awhile, but your idea sounds quite useful.
