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?
