Luis:
We do not have software geeks on this list, but rather professional software
engineers, designers and computer programers. Believe me, they are here.
If you go back thru all the rip rap it was explained more than once how to
do what you suggest. Unfortunately it was not labeled in the subject box as
'email sorting solutions'. I encourage you to go back and study replies
address to Alan R., amoung others for suggested methods. I have not done a
search of the archives, but would suggest that might yield some
enlightenment.
And I encourage your further comments.
