Hello Hardy.

I become crazy, I do not remember that I have ever needed such a long
time, to make a program running. :-(((

>What does your %home%\yarn\config file says for the filter setting
>(mine shows 'f:\yarn\bin\filter1 %f').

filter=%d\filter1 %f

my home and yarn variables:
home=d:\mailnews\hj
yarn=d:\mailnews\yarn

>Try to run filter1.exe against your mailin directory files (e.g. for me
>it would be 'd: & cd \u\home\yarn\in\mail2 & f:\yarn\bin\filter1.exe
>0000001.msg'). If the message file contains something meaningful,

>import.

It shows: INBOX.
