There are benefits to both approaches (lots of little programs/one program that does everything). ifile uses the Unix approach for handling differences between e-mail clients, but I don't know if it would be most appropriate for parsing code.

Can you be more specific about the Grant Taylor link? I don't have any problems with it. Jason D. M. Rennie MIT AI Lab [email protected] (617) 253-5339 http://www.ai.mit.edu/~jrennie/
