It might help you if you click on the 'from' tab in outlook express. This will then list your emails by the sender - while you organize them. You can then go back and click the received tab to get them back to listing by date. Or you can click the subject tab to get them listed by subjects. The quirk with that tab is that the original e-mail is not listed along with all of the re's of that subject. Message rules are really quite easy. Just yell if you want help.

Now comes the task of alll my email being organized like you just described. I wish I understood message rules before I began genealogy research. I have hundreds of saved emails in my inbox. I have not counted, maybe about 2 hundred or so. I still am not sure though now about how to do message rules but will take the time to reread emails on it from the group and try to experiment. Then I will not have to go through all of this again. thanks, cristy -- <Please delete this line and everything below.> To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/
