Shirely <http://nms-cgi.sf.net/scripts.shtml> :) I've just downloaded them both on my Mac (9.1) and Formail is present in both of them. There's no resource fork (oh ex-gruppenfuhrer - am I using the right words) which is fine because nothing apart from macs can read them anyway (resource forks manifest themselves when Macs play with other OSs and leave .apple_double files around [or at least with netatalk they do]) > "The file was 42Kb, so I assume it was the full script, it just unzipped > as an alias on my system (MacOS 9.2.1 on a G4/400) and I couldn't change > it in ResEdit or anything else 'cos it kept looking for the 'original > file'! I get an eror that says "The document Formail.pl could not be opened, because the application that created it could not be found". Which is to be expected. I'm not sure how to solves this or what the difference between nms and matt's are. Maybe one of the Macnoscenti can work it out. Simon
