Extremely inefficient, error-prone and irritating. Again: CATs are about automating reetitive things. How would you expect people to know which mail contains which (version of) the file? How would you expect people to know which file (out of several dozen or more) to look at to find something? How would you expect people to remember the names of the snippets? Etc., etc., etc. Best, -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl
