Don,
That's exactly the way I read email with Outlook Express and why I don't yet 
have an email program in Windows 7.  I'm planning to do the Windows Mail 
hack to get something that works like Outlook Express.  Most messages from 
the 9 lists I monitor get deleted, but I like to keep those with information 
I may need so that I don't need to search list archives.
