This is great!!

But why not just create a folder, have PMMail filter into that folder, then
setup the directory for that folder as the SMTP directoy for the other
account?

I just tried it, and guess what!  It works great!

I'm thrilled!

I already had a Panix folder for all mail addressed to my base Panix account
(usually messages from Panix accounting), but it really belongs in a seperate
account so when I reply it uses my Panix email address. But I never had a way
to do this.

Now I just setup a Panix account, and set the SMTP directory to that folder
like this:

C:\mail\PMMail\Netcom.act\Panix0.FLD

Like magic!  Now I can filter across accounts!  Why the heck has no-one
mentioned this before?
