I could retrieve ANY message I wanted with that number, my problem was that it looked like I started a new thread for a 6 months old when I wanted to follow up on it (Seems like that's not trully possible once the message is from a different month). To me Igor is right as what he suggested worked with any message I wanted to get. Greg P.S.
