RE: [epub] When to unsubscribe addresses

["Dougd" <dougd@xxxxxxxx>]

I wish I could figure out how to extract the emails addresses in one of my
"Hard Bounce" folders in 'Outlook 2000'. It's a real pain opening and copying
one address at a time. Maybe if I could find the folder location on my HD and
convert it to text? I have an email extraction program that has 18 days left 
on it.

I'm now deleting all addresses that bounce back for ANY single issue.

[]and You Are

[]just took a haitus, not publishing for the next two weekends!  :-)
