Hi Reid,

Thanks once again for the tips, but I found it was easier to simply do :

grep "Subject: COZA: OKAY: Updated domain" CO.ZA\ Data >> updated.txt

...straight from the command line in the Evolution local data folder.

At least I have a better understanding now of how Evolution mailboxes
work.

Thank you again for your desire to help, much appreciated.
