The registry can give you the following for a message ID: sender, subject, mtime, and groups for that message. You can also associate persistent flags with a message. What you need can be done by looking at the group for each message ID you need, looking for the message itself, and putting it in a list. Then you can get the References for the parent message and recurse. I think you're asking for the list of messages to be interpreted as a virtual thread inside the current group, which is pretty hard and I don't know how to do it. Displaying the message contents in some way, though, is not too hard. Ted
