Lee, 1. To make "a viewer to show & list the To, From, Subject, & date in a window similiar to the way my Windoz's emailer pgm does", we would have to know what your emailer's "To, From, etc" window *looks like*. Can you describe it, or send a "screen shot" of it? 2. In order to abstract the header info from the text file that your emailer creates, it would help to have a *sample* of exactly what that text file looks like. Can you provide us with a sample? 3. in general, to create such a viewer one might: read in the names of all such email text files (in case you had more than one); list them for the user; let user select one; read the selected text file in, looking for header tags in each line; put the info from each of the header tags into a variable, together with message; when finished reading file, go back through the variable, and put the info into a list; user clicking on an item in the list gets the message for that item and displays it. Is that enough to get you started?
