OK, ok I do have trouble understanding this stuff. I understood that Colins 'snippet' was *not* meant to be a full blown program for splitting mail. Where we parted ways, was my ignorance in what evaling actually is for or does. My comments to Colin were only for more explanation. Justin answered in full, yes. Thanks for that. But also asks a question. "Why did you try to eval it?' Well, out of ignorance mainly, but not for lack of reading the manual. -- Harry Putnam reader@newsguy.com
