I had to put in an ending / on each directory name. Stuff is going in the right directories in the right format. Outlook Express doesn't seem to recognize it, and just lumps stuff together in my inbox - but the server shows them in the correct locations. Think I'll try Evolution to see if it behaves differently. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
