Fran, if you really want to sort them in chronological order of sending (not just receiving), then you can already do that: SORTUP DATE Remember that the order in which things (by default) are sorted is essentially the order in which you received them, which may bear no relation to the real chronological order of sending, making following the thread of a conversation on a mailing list difficult. Sorting on the DATE field is the way to solve this problem, and can be set as the default sort field. Even if you want to truly sort them by the order in which they were stored in your notebook, no new sort field needs adding: sort them in NOTE order. See the help file for SORTUP/SORTDOWN for details, as usual, as well as the PROFILE help for the details on options settings. Richard
