Volks,
By the responses to my post, it appears I haven't made myself clear....I wish to
remove the header info and other unnecessary/redundant information from each
saved message, not simply move each message to various sub-folders. This
categorisation into numerous sub-folders does not reduce the space occupied by
the accumulation of postings, which is what I mean to do.
