Thanks, I'm not familiar with the mbox (or any other format) I just migrated from Kmail. My records file is not a file at all but a folder. I'll change it immediately. I guess I just create an empty file called records? I would like to be able to look at all mails sent to a particular address and suchlike, will mbox let me do this? I'll look into the hook thing but I've read the manual and didn't really get it. One more thing........ I notice that I could reply to this mail by typing 'R' but I didn't receive a mail from Alex who also replied (thanks Alex) just a copy in the 'digest'. I'm new to mailing lists (clearly). What gives? Many thanks :) Nick Wilson Tel: +45 3325 0688 Fax: +45 3325 0677 Web: www.explodingnet.com
