Glad to help out, I've used TMNice for quite a while now and have no
complaints about it.  I used to use Tag X but dropped it after trying
TMNice 3.0.  Incidentally, if you really like TMNice and use Microsoft
Outlook for email you may want to consider checking out Lisa from the
author of TMNice.  Give it a go what could you loose?
Would you or anyone know of a good program that checks for duplicates?
TMNice does it some what but, I'm looking for a program that has more
powerful algorithms to handle different situations.

Hi everyone
I'm trying to compile a directory of EMAIL addresses, both personal and
commercial.
The only reason for this is because such a directory doesn't seem to exist.
And I for one, would like to see how big it actually gets :)
Please could you help by sending me any Email addresses that you consider
worthy of such a list, ie Computer Shops, magazines, national press,
colleges, universities and anything else you can think of.
If YOU would like to be included in this list please send me your EMAIL
address.
I'm considering the possiblity of posting this list to the internet, or
maybe just fidonet/meganet etc, What do you think?
Ideas, and input would really be appreciated
                     PLEASE REPLY VIA EMAIL OR NETMAIL

Hi everyone
I recently posted this, and to my surprise, all I got was mail saying
"don't put me on the EMAIL directory"
I think I made a bit of a boob with the general idea for this list So I've
re-considered my ideas...
All I intend to put on this list is Commercial EMAIL addresses, ie software
companies, magazines, tv programs/stations, radio stations, Universities,
colleges etc, etc..... and so on and so on...
PLease can you help by sending me any EMAIL addresses you can think of.
Do not send personal addresses as they will not be used.
                     PLEASE REPLY VIA EMAIL OR NETMAIL
thankyou.

You could do what I do with it. I've found that Tag-O-Matic is one of the
best progs to de-dupe tagfiles, but I have my own program (GOPGP) that adds
taglines to my messages. So what I've done with Tag-O-Matic, is configured
it enough for the de-duper, and gotten rid of the rest. Really all you need
from the archive to de-dupe taglines is the files TAGUTIL.EXE and
T-MATIC.CFG.

        - seperate files.  Instead on one huge file, will have smaller ones
        - option to merge groups into one huge file
        - select which tagline group to use for a mail session
            - Mail reader configurable
    - Import taglines from saved text messages
    - Tagline Statistics
        - number of categories and number of taglines in each
    - Launch mail session from TagMan
        - allows selection of group as stated above
