I remembered one instance in which it breaks: when a message contains a quoted '>From ,' it is not double-escaped (so it is indistinguishable from the single-escaped reserved word). Of course, if this were fixed, you could then argue that a double-quoted '>>From' would then be ambiguous (though that much rarer). The bottom line for me is that I am far from averse to parsing the MBX files offline, having trusted the format on many occasions, but one must have a good reason not to just use POP3. -Sandy Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
