Thanks David;
I am CC-ing this reply to the Evolution list in case someone else finds
it useful as well. Pardon the top post but I wanted to keep the thread
intact for others.
Today is used up and I am tired. Tomorrow morning I will give your
suggestions a try. They look like what I want. And if not exactly,
they certainly point me in the right direction; building Bash scripts
rather than trying something internal to Evolution which for me would be
a steep learning curve.
