Making it easier The fact that you can use Notebook=NO means it is up to each List Owner to decided if his previous list postings are of importance at all. If that is the case, let him have a convenient tool to delete messages that he/she decide are no longer needed. The fact is that deleting archive items is possible already, via mail, only it is not convenient. Making it difficult as a measure of not encouraging list owners to delete archive items, is not the way...I doubt it if this is what Lsoft meant in the first place... Moshe
