Yes, *as long as* it's bulletproof and crystal-clear to a user when this is happening, to prevent unintentionally either adding another record or overwriting an existing record that you didn't mean to. Not sure if that's debug / only show what would happen / don't actually write data flags or what. Maybe my concern isn't important, but I want to make sure that in the future a new Secretary helper couldn't mistakenly use this to re-process all of last month's emails or something, which could make quite a mess if the script mistakenly re-updated a bunch of data. -- - Shane Whimsy PMC The Apache Software Foundation
