I like the Junk Mail feature so far....the other thing I don't like (and 
mozilla is famous for this too) is that it puts files on the C: by 
default even if the program isn't there. In XP here it's sticking the 
stuff into one of the administrator profile directories. I'd prefer if 
there was an option. Everytime I create a new account I have to manually 
move things and fix it.

Right now I'm using Tbird on XP; I'm assuning your code is for os2? I 
looked in my directory tree and don't see a "Local Files". I'm also 
using POP so where would that be?

I got it and it was small enough....please let me know if this works 
under Windoze as well and I can give it a try.

Thanks Leon
