Err, the cataloger is intended to create a doc linking to files in a
chosen path. It's applicability here is for the situation in which you
decided to take the messages from your PST and drop them somewhere on
the file system directly.
Personally, I don't exporting the messages to yet still another DB
engine as having solved anything but people *Will* use what they are
familiar and comfortable with. Besides, coding is addictive, if
unhealthy, and doing this in Access is probably a pretty good way at
mimicking Outlook without actual delivery/routing functions...and even
that limitation is temporary.
My personal favorite way of managing old messages is similar to
Outlook's auto-archive feature...except this one works.<g> When cleaning
up the mail box, I create a new mail file(PST) and move the messages to
that new file. If I want, I can have this file loaded all the time as an
available archive and the PST file is portable from system to system.
It's a much more usable, reliable system than that used by OE.
The last method is concerning a script which I have given to Dian to
post for people's use. It's intent is to aid the people who have taken
the 'drag to a folder on the desktop' method by stripping any HTML
tagging and binary data supplied in MSG formatted files, leaving only
the plain-text content behind.

With thinking this clear, is coding really a good idea?"
