Yes. > Rather than stopping the archival process at the bcc delivery to a mailbox > file and handing that to the client, go further and have that mailbox read > by a POP client such a Eudora or TheBat that read the mailbox msgs and > delivers to the POP clients indexed (and optionally > filtered-into-mailboxes), including de-MIME-ing of attachments into the, > eg, Eudora/attach/ directory. Now that sounds like a good idea. More work, but provides more benefit. Being that this is for a financial institution that is going to be requiring archiving, going this route makes sense. > For more value-added $$$ in your consultant's pocket, you and client could > define any number of Eudora mailbox files that the complete archive would > be distributed to using Eurdora message filtering. That would make a complete service. I like it. :)) I will present this idea to them. Thanks Len.
