Jakob, While I like both of those options, I do not agree that they should be in The Bat! TB! is a mailer. The options you are proposing are appropriate for an archive database. While it's true that TB! can hold a tremendous amount of mail, a good archive database has all sorts of features that a mailer does not need (and would be included only at the cost of bloat and absence of other features). Why not use an archive tool like Mailbag Assistant or some of the other programs that I have heard are out there? (I use Mailbag Assistant and frequently search large databases, including across multiple archive files.) Perhaps the issue is really whether TB! should embrace a development priority that the program should function as a good archive database. I'm not convinced yet that it should, but I'd like to hear what others think. -- JN ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
