Hi,

Lemme try this question again.

I have several years' worth of e-mail folders spread throughout my 
system (Sun Ultra 5 running Solaris 9). Currently I use mozilla to pop 
mail over from my ISP. I read the mail and filter spam in mozilla, and 
then move the keeper messages to my inbox. I use dtmail to file messages 
from the inbox to the appropriate folder, to read folders, and to 
respond to messages. While I have some high use folders pre-defined in 
dtamil, many others aren't pre-defined; dtmail has a good interface for 
dynamically choosing those folders by providing for navigation of my 
file system in order to get to the target folder.

This works well except that dtmail does not properly handle and display 
multipart messages. I am wondering if Mozilla is a viable alternative.

It appears that filing messages directly from mozilla will require me to 
have all my folders statically pre-defined in mozilla. If that is wrong, 
please correct me.

A simple way to move a message from my mozilla inbox to an arbitrary 
folder anywhere under my home directory would be perfect. If that is 
possible, can someone please point me to a cookbook description of how 
to do that?

Thanks!

Rod
