Hello Robert. At 10:06 AM on Tuesday, March 19, 2002 you wrote the following about [Archive]:

You can create a manual hot key action that will mark a selection of msgs [your choice] with a color group & msgs in that color group will automatically be exported to a file on your HD. That might help with this problem. Look @ actions/color groups/manual in the filter area & test it out -- very powerful.

I use Zoot to keep incoming msgs of interest, JR>> sorted & searchable by infinite choices. Robert> With the outgoing messages, I think, your suggestion Robert> would work flawlessly for me. But perhaps you can Robert> tell me a bit more about Zoot. Zoot is a database program that is shareware. It has a pretty steep learning curve [at least for me] but there is a very helpful group like TB! that answers questions. Like TB! it doesn't have the greatest help file & it has endless options. Mailbag Assistant is a more structured program, probably less of a learning curve, very powerful if you write macros for it & works flawlessly with TB!. I think many on this list use it & can vouch for it's utility. It, too, is shareware. MA is cheaper than Zoot. JR>> However, you can bypass all of this by searching the JR>> message archives that are on line. Robert> I have a little limitation as far as the Internet Robert> access is concerned. [...] Checking the archives would definitely be a bad idea for you then. BTW, Peter Palmreuther who also answered your question is *extremely* knowledgeable in TB! -- certainly knows more than I do. I'm sure you will have a solution to your wish soon enough. Frankly, my POV is to use as few programs as possible so if I can get TB! to do what I want [in this case it can do that for you], that would be my first choice. Windows has a 'find' program built in that can find any text selection within a file so that might be the fastest/cheapest way to go. HTH -- Jan Rifkinson Ridgefield, CT USA TB!
