I commend you for maintaining a scheduled routine (your 30-day  
rule) and being organized.

But why not just "toss" all those messages into something like  
Squish format and use something like Sempoint (which handles  
both QWK and BW in the same program automatically!) to read them  
whenever you want?  No more repeat unpacking and searching  
required.   ;)
