I've already installed Pegasus Mail. I looked it up shortly after reading John's post. Its a matter of playing with the filters to see if it will do what I want it to, then , if it does, porting over my mailboxes. I like the idea of using a program other than Outlook Express for my mail, but porting over my boxes is quite a task as I already use a large number of message rules in Outlook, and have a number of different folders, and have 3 different boxes/identities I use (one for personal, one for work, and one I use as a spam target if I am asked to enter my e-mail address on sites that I think may sell spam me or sell my email address... surprisingly the most spam comes on my work box). I still think the headers would be helpful though. I don't think that too many good messages will be lost in the process, but you are probably right that well crafted filters would be more effective at not filtering posts a person might want. Even so, the header would make it easier to filter messages if a person were to use a multi-stage filtering process (which would be more effective at keeping a me ssage that one might not want to filter). > Julia > > who's had the wolf be a positive animal too much to have it be credible > as *her* nightmare Fenris isn't an evil character, Fenris is a character that is a culmination of my litteral nightmares, and my nightmares aren't about boogey-men and supervillians, they are situational. Fenris is more of a self portrait than a villain. It represents me and the situations in my Nightmares. A wolf was chosen because I have had very bad dreams about bad things happening to my dogs in the past. There is much more to the character of Fenris which I may address in the future, but not right now. Obviously, I've put thought into the character before, so I may as well say that I had started modeling this character in Lightwave months ago. I haven't finished it yet, but may in the next couple months if I can find the time to.
