oops, confusion of terms ... %-)

What I meant was the directory path to the PMMail account directory. Of
course you are absolutely right about the folder names as PMMail keeps
them internally and how they are represented as subdirectories (8.3).
They don't matter in this context and you can name them whatever you
want. 

The problem with program hooks could be avoided if either PMMail put
"quotation marks" around the message file name or - better yet - use
the short (mangled) path name.

Norbert
