Ten years ago (that's a scary thought in itself) I used to work as a consultant for various document management solutions. One of the products we used was Alfresco, which was pretty decent and also available under the GPL (though there's also a commercial Enterprise edition). At the time, it had a feature that allowed you to suck in data from Email. Whether it's still any good or not, or at all suitable for your needs, I don't know. It's probably quite a heavy weight and feature rich option. Whatever you choose, it probably needs to be a solution that's going to last a reasonably long time. https://www.alfresco.com/ Sam. -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
