HI Becky Hear, Hear. David, I understand that getting millions of e-mails is quite daunting but the names sent are very useful to most of us. I was going to post transcriptions on this list but decided better of it and posted mine to my blog as I could then edit any corrections and everyone could then see them, irrespective of where they searched from. All the rest of you, who criticised David, think of how much info comes through on a daily basis. I personally get upwards of a hundred e-mails a day from friends, family and various lists and subscriptions. I too, do not have the time to go through every single e-mail, so I have set up my Outlook to filter emails into different directories and on weekends I go through the ones I haven't read and see what is there. Otherwise I search for whatever names I am looking for and leave the rest for some later stage. For those of you who use your work e-mail for your subscription I suggest you go to gmail, yahoo or hotmail and get a *free* e-mail address, then put all your subscriptions to that e-mail address, you can then access your e-mails whenever and wherever you like. I once worked for a company who monitored every e-mail that came in and we were warned only twice about personal e-mails, then they put a filter on all incoming e-mails preventing personal and joke e-mails.
