As I said in a prior post, just email me sample data you have for a
month and I'll check out the finer details of doing this. To clarify
something - when you say 'columns', do you mean columns in a database,
a spreadsheet or an ASCII text file? The last option is by far the
simplest for me. I will be writing a program using a language called
LabVIEW to parse the data and extract it into the various columns.

You're probably right here. Google does this superbly with their
latest newsgroup and gmail interfaces, although their algorithms are
certainly proprietary. When I see the data, I'll assess what is
possible.
Don't forget to send me that file!
