Thanks for your help.

	You can arrange to get an attached function on the mail message, which will be executed when the mail is read. This is how Time Management works. After you read the meeting invitation, the function does the work of putting it in your calendar. However, only certain functions can be attached to mail messages - There's a table in OAGBL.BLI called MAILFUN which defines which functions can be attached to messages. You'll see that "DO" is there, but commented out. This is to stop people sending you some dangerous script that will be executed in your account! To add another one will require you to do some Code Level stuff, and other chnages on all the systems on your network. A simpler way might be to add something to the end of the message title and then customise the read code to handle it. Graham
