I do change occasionally the subject line *in conversation*. That is, I assign a meaningful/changed subject line to a reply. I am very particular when it comes to vital communication and *don't want anybody to change my mails* (this is for all of you that don't think international Copyright doesn't hold if authors don't expressly forbid to do anything). > More often than that, I get replies to messages from me about one > topic but containing an entirely new topic.

But good call just the same. What you actually should do - for archiving purposes - is to export the mails completely into a text file, make some clearly distinguishable annotations and save them. Within TB! you use the Memo feature which can help a lot. -- Dierk Haasis http://www.Write4U.de http://Zoo.Write4U.de PGP keys available: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=SendMyPGPkeys The Bat 1.61 on Windows 95 4.0 1212 C It's hard to be humble when you're as great as I am.
