RE: Converting Messages into Some Sort of Database...

What do you hope to accomplish n a database that you can't do simply by
keeping the messages in folders in the e-mail package of your choice. I can
do full text searches in Outlook so I'm not sure I see the need.

I'm CURRENTLY using Netscape Communicator but became aware yesterday
that I COULD do all of this through Outlook. Still doesn't solve the
"convert to database" question - doesn't ANYONE else have a need to have
a searchable database of this information outside of e-mail ?

Thanks for the Outlook info though !
