Thank you so much for posting the applescripts ! I had no experience of using ScriptEditor, so looked at its Help section and found basic instructions for compiling and saving a script. I had no hope of succeeding first time but when I tried the script you sent (quoted above) it worked ! This script does exactly what I wanted. Along with the "changesubjectscript" I can now get back to my old habits of editing incoming digests. This will save me lots of time. Many thanks again Irene
