What are TSV and CSV?

There's a program called PersonalGroupware that can download all
messages, files, etc. or only selected by date, thread, or poster.

He's got it off his website right now for updating. He's just offered
to send me a beta version to test. I'll let you know.

To Dave M., even Microsoft Access must be able to export in a common
database format. The receiver would still have to set up their
database program properly to be able to search and view by various
things like thread, date, and poster.

Just don't upload it to the list files! Kinda defeats the purpose.
