I like this idea, at least as an option, precisely so that the messages would also appear "snoozed" when viewed with other IMAP clients (like cell phones). I also like the idea of storing the snooze information in a header when possible. This *can* be done with nnimap, which can edit messages by deleting the old one and creating a new one. And if you are already copying the message to another folder, the header could be added at the same time. The registry has some auto-pruning features, which always makes me worried about storing important information there. Dan
