The facilities I have makes it quite simple. I have a real text editor that is programmable with rex macros and read mail on a unix system with a text based mailer. I request a years worth of archives at a time, d/l the HUGE file to my PC and run a Kedit macro that breaks it up and zips the individual weekly or monthly logs into an archives directory. Takes a few mins to update last years saved request and send it, (c/2005/2006/) and another few mins to d/l the file and break it up. -- Rich Greenberg N Ft Myers, FL, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 239 543 1353 Eastern time.
