Yes

Think about a *.bat file
-------
rem start the editor with the first commandline parameter
rem the editor do the job and save this file under the same name
Start /wait myeditor.exe %1
thebat.exe /IMPORTU="accout";F="folder";IN="%1";DEL';
------
Or write a reformat program with a Script language (eg. Python, Perl)

No, if TB! is allready started and you call it again with some
commandline parameters, TB! send the parameter for executing to the
first instance and quit, so there is no problem.

I assume that this means that TB! wait until the external programm
quits. But i am not sure.
So.
- The Filter trigger
- TB! Start the Program and wait
- The external prg do the job, call TB! with the inport command. and
exit
- now your called TB! execute your command and import the mail, and at
the same time TB! continue with the next filter because you external
prg are quit.
cu,
Dirk
