Houghi,

I am downloading Agent 1.7 from tucows and will be having a look at it...
hope it does what i described....

Why? I have a small software business and quite some newsgroups, mainly MS
programming groups have lots of postings that are interesting to us. For each
subject that interests us, we drag the postings to a specific inbox folders.
We cannot, however, read this heap of mails every time, so every 2 weeks, we
want to get all locally kept postings from 1 folder into 1 word doc - edit it
- print the file and distribute it... The inbox folders can then be emptied
again...

Thanx for your reply..
