Bron,

Thank you for your patience with this! It is really appreciated!

After stumbling through the telnet/IMAP syntax I finally got in, a good 
learning experience!

The output of the SELECT for the user who is having the biggest issue 
with this is extensive, so I've attached it as a text file. I do see the 
"$Label1, $Label2, etc." as you said but also a lot of text which I 
assume are the tags the user has made.

The question is, other than the excessive use of tags, is there anything 
else wrong with this output?
