I just found the "Thread" button, it's just to the left of Subject. One
down, one to go. :>

Correct. I'm worried that my Rexx utility which puts together my
Netscape 2.02 SORT.DAT filter file won't work any more.

Yes.

All email file handling is within Netscape 2.02. I create the email
filter file externally; my last modification to it was about a week ago.

I've had Mozilla installed for quite a while (the directory date is 21
May 2001). I can't find the *documentation*. What I want is the
*documentation*.

I don't know how to filter the messages. I need the documentation.

I found:

Message -> Create Filter From Message
and
Tools -> Message Filters

Where is the documentation? "Help" brings up an HTML file with some
basic info, but I need to know how to import filters. I can generate
filters with boolean selection logic or with goto's, but I need to know
how to get them into Mozilla. (I can't even find the HTML file; I ran
PMSeek on some of its text and got zilch. Where is this stuff hiding?)

Thanks, Ray.
