He wants to be able to identify emails from this list in *real time* as they are downloaded. BEFORE any mail actions happen, BEFORE any logs are created. How much more clearly does he have to say it: >When I "Connect Now", I see the subject lines come through, one by one. >I scan that as the messages are coming in. I take note if there are >important messages. Sure, he could construct a set of mail actions that would make it possible to sort emails from this list into a folder, but no mail action could replace the evaluation he does as he reads the subject line as it flashes by in the Connection window. He wants to be able to identify an important message as it comes in. He has told us that knowing whether or not a message is from this list is part of that evaluation process. The response he is getting is like somebody asking for directional signs to be installed on the roads, so he doesn't have to get off his motorcycle and ask for directions, and we are telling him where to get a bus pass. --Lyle ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
