I like this idea, I use Netscape 7.02 (Mozilla) and the only way I can
look at old e-mail is with Netscape. I've got folders full of messages
concerning long completed projects that I'd love to archive and trim out
of my Mail folder but I can't do that easily.
I suppose I could set up a Netscape account on my backup desktop and
carefully copy the e-mail into the folder.
It would be so much easier to save as text.

This sounds nice but would I need to worry about security?
Can other people get to my e-mail or get into my IMAO server?

Thanks to all
