The times I've used it, it was always to process the message as it was saved to disk with another program (in the same filter with the action 'run external program') and to direct the output back to TB or to whatever target I envisioned at that moment.

If it was a sequential process, than it would wreak havoc with my uses, so I can't say I'm sorry that it isn't. S> Does anyone know if this feature ever worked like this? No, but you could use Terry's option, run TB's /export parameter as external program. I've done some testing and this does what you want: C:\Program Files\The Bat!\thebat.exe /EXPORTU="roelof";D="C:\test\";S=-1 In stead of using the action 'export to', use the next action in the filter 'Run external program'. The above string works for me. Note that you've got to replace 'roelof' with your accountname (I suppose it would be a shear coincidence that your account would have the same name as mine <g>) and replace 'C:\test\' with the target directory of your desire. For an explanation of the syntax, see the help under 'Export messages or addresses - /EXPORT command' -- Groetjes, Roelof ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.01.3 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
