   Thanks for the idea.   
   I've never tried learning how to use filters in TB.   
   It is TB that You're speaking of, isn't it?   
      
   I am one who will re-read Emails (and BBS messages I've saved).   
      
   One big reason I like reading BBS messages is the people who know this   
   stuff and know how to explain it to unlearned guys like me, let me get an   
   EDucation.   
      
   Thanks, and Thanks to all others here.
