Thanks for the tip. &nbsp;I checked out ePrompter on CNET but decided against it. &nbsp;Reviews as to its functionality were excellent, but it got negative press about ads and &quot;spyware&quot; &nbsp;which made me uneasy. I opted for Magic Mail Prompter (<a href="http://www.geeba.org/magic" rel="ugc">http://www.geeba.org/magic</a>) instead. &nbsp;Its not as sophisticated, but it does what I need.<br />
