How about including parameters in the email?
This idea just popped into my head yesterday. It's a simple enough concept. Parse the email body, and maybe subject, for some special character strings representing the parameters (eg. %P1%, %P2%, etc.). Presumably something like what you're doing now for the dynamic filename strings. Seems like it might not be difficult for simple parameters, but I can also see potential complications, like parameters with multiple values. And doing the substitution in the email subject might be nice, but may not be practical due to space considerations - I don't know what, if any, limits there are on the length of an email subject. I just figured my last suggestion, parsing the dynamic filename characters in the email, was too easy, since you got it in already, so maybe you needed more of a challenge to occupy your time. <bg> James PS: I noticed that your list of changes for the new version mentions checking the from-to times. That'll be good. That actually crossed my mind at some point, but I don't think I ever mentioned it.
