Peter:
if you can give me the body of the message in one column and the date and
sender information in another column or preferrably separate columns... then I
can create a self-contained application that will run on any Macintosh or
Windows PC currently available...
let me know if you can really do this... I have the archives in a folder on my
HD if you need a month's worth to look at...
if you do your part free... I'll do my part free... of course... no charge for
CDs and I'm sure we can make it available via download on a website for
whomever wants it.
thanks,
Matt
