I've run a short (12 message) test file through spamassassin using the --mbox option and capturing the output in another file. My JavaMail+mstor application read the output OK. I'm currently putting my very large, torture test message collection through spamassassin and will write a fuller description when it finishes and the output has been fed into my application. Thanks for your help. Martin
