We can do that.
For win32 environments, I recommend using cygwin, <http://www.cygwin.com/>, in order to get all the Unix-type tools and shells. I've been using it for years anytime I am stuck working on a win32 system. > I was hoping to find out if it would be easy or hard to put the <rmm> > element into mhonarc. What you are really asking for is to pre-exclude a set of message since RMM operates on messages already in the archive. It appears you want to have some message not even added to an archive (like when doing a rebuild from raw data). If this is the case, your request of having a <RMM> element is really just a specific form of the MSGEXCFILTER resource. I.e. You can define MSGEXCFILTER to do the pre-exclusion of messages for you. With a little scripting, you can have a "global" message-id exclude file and have a resource file auto-generated from it that defines MSGEXCFILTER. This resource file is then included by your regular resource file. Note, if you alread use MSGEXCFILTER, you would need to merge the message-id exclusion part with whatever you currently have. --ewh --------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message text UNSUBSCRIBE MHONARC-USERS
