Hi all, the best is manage the email with MySql and some little program in vb, c, html/php,,,,, that can order in any user flavor and once organized can be selected, downloaded, searched, "full text" searched, etc to memory/disk. I am maintaining parameter collection for UltraFractal in this format and the maintenance is very low. For a disk size of 65Mb, maybe some overhead, 100MB I can host a database on my server for the fractint discussion list Regards, Marcelo David Jones wrote:

Even uncompressed as plain text, the whole FractInt Discussion List from 1997 to present is only about 65-MB (which is only about 24-MB in the .ZIP format).
I'm glad that my guessing is only off by half. Sizes like that tend to be unmanagable under DOS. The remaining question is what format the zipfile should expand to. One single mail file? Divided into months? A Database?
