Hi Mike.

Converted to a RTF file guessing the Mac application "Mail" might then
recognize it. Thanks for the tips, but adding the extension .mbox to
the file name didn't work either. But.....

Downloaded Opera for OSX. Imported file. Works great! I now have a
quick way to search!

Thanks for the file Wes and John!

Really cool.

Neil.
