Threading the message also involves displaying the from and to contents, which requires opening the message file. The alternative to the fix I provided is to just parse all of the message headers when first opening the message; it could then be immediately closed and the hash referred to for all header data. Given the choice, just having the caller say when it has finished with a message is probably a reasonable option... -keith
