It works very well, but now I just use Entourage. I can use a rule to catch a message with a particular set of features (such as a keyphrase in the subject/body) and have a handler scritp that analyses the body and carries out certain tasks. Why switch? Not because Albert was faulty in any way, but just because it was one less app to run (and I think it took a while for albert to be carnoised). All albert does is check a POP mailbox from time to time and react accordingly. I already have entorage doing this. -- Barry -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
