All are presently in separate files & saved by who the sender was. In sample, those are some of the msgs I have received after signing up to your mailing list. I had thought to append/merge several small text together to cut down on the number of files in my directory. Depending on viewer is the problem. Example: Dos's Edit can handle, view, files up to 250k. My little Show viewer, I have been able to view files up to 35 megs. > Regarding use of a database: I wouldn't think it would > be necessary, you just make a variable (sequence) which > has a place for every message, and in each of those > places you provide a space for From, Subject, Date, > and the message. No viewer, editor will display & sort some of the fields that our emailer pgm displays. I kind of miss that. In order to keep file sizes down to a minimum, I save to text or what I like to call archive them. Then delete msgs from my Juno emailer pgm. Then I edit the text file & delete all file attachments & some of the header info. By doing this, my final text file is usually 1/3 of what it would be if in Juno's (Windoz) format. > It could be done like this: -------------------- snip -------------------------- Wooow...now all I have to do is figure out what all these codes mean. > Regarding "sounds complicated": for pretty much *any* > program, after you've decided what you *want* the program > to do, you have to identify the variety of things the > program would *have* to do to accomplish the task you > wish, and perhaps something of the order it would have > to do them in.
