One problem I encountered: whenever two messages have the same name, the first is written over by the second. So I took a deep breath and changed the a little, by adding a counter, that is attached to the filename: <code lang="applescript"> set msgnr to 1 ... repeat etc. .... set theFilePath to (SaveLoc & msgnr & "_" & theFileName & ".txt") set msgnr to msgnr+1 end repeat etc. </code> Hans Erik Hi Justin,
