Hi, It is 33 mB and it is mostly text file and I can see all the emails. I changed the ext to txt and loaded it in notepad but it is too slow. Next I loaded it into Word and that went well. It shows up at about 9000 pages once it has it indexed. This is the file that I originally asked about. If I can delete the MIME code it would cut the size maybe 70%. From what I could find on the internet this would best be done by programming script like PERL or PYTHON but I only have some memory of using MS BASIC for string manipulations. I have done a little macro recording but I don't see how it would apply. I did use one utility on it to translate it into a Opera mail box and it was some what successful. However it has several actual emails in each email. It did not pick up every email header.
