Using a database is a good way to practically guarantee that at most one mail client will ever be able to read it, I think. :) Try one of the age-old standard formats instead. Berkeley mbox is dead simple and supported by practically everything, although it has a few problems (see another thread). There's also mh format and maildir. A quick Google search or checking the documentation for various mail clients should give you more information. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
