Ok, that sounds easy. > About half of them are large (100+k) HTML messages that may or may > not be formatted correctly. Two ways I have done this sort of thing: 1: process mark the articles and then O-s to create a SOUP packet. There's an option (sorry it's been a long time since I've done this so I don't recall exactly what it is) to have the SOUP packet be generated in mbox format. You don't need to use all the nnsoup stuff. That way. 2: create an nnmbox group and then process mark and B-c the articles to it. Neither O-s nor B-c reads the articles so w3 won't get called to render them during the copy process. hth, -- Dave Goldberg Post: The Mitre Corporation\MS B325\202 Burlington Rd.\Bedford, MA 01730 Phone: 781-271-3887 Email: dsg@mitre.org
