***** To join INSNA, visit http://www.sfu.ca/~insna/ ***** Santi, I'm be no means an expert, but one way to do this would be to read in all of your emails as one text (or similar) file extracted either from the email server or the email client. For example, Eudora email software allows you to select multiple e-mails and save them as one text file. Then using SAS or similar software, read in this file and extract the text following the "To:", "From:", "CC:" , etc. headers. In SAS I'd use the INDEX and SUBSTR functions to find the beginning and end of the email address. For example, you might need to cut "To: Michael Whitcomb <[log in to unmask]>" to become "[log in to unmask]". Using the '<' and '>' characters as indicators of the start and end of the email address would allow you to do this. Hope this helps.
