If the reason they want to extract some articles from a spam group is because they are not spam, then that might mean they want to actually remove those articles from the spam group, so that they aren't learned as spam. With this method, you can't actually move articles _out_ of the group/file, can you? -- -johnsu01 -http://www.wjsullivan.net -GPG Key: AE8600B6
