Yeah. Not a great solution. Using Outlook for managing (essentially)
contract documents is a little like using AutoCAD for all your word
processing chores. You *can* do it, but you're asking to it to do something
it wasn't designed to do. I'd really like a program that let you *print* to
a DM database and that was intelligent enough to know that someone already
did it...

Are you sure about this regarding email received from external sources?

That's because the recipient's name was different in all emails. Happens to
us
as well. Our solution was just to drop it in there anyway, since a single
email
sent to multiple persons is only instanced once in the database.

Nor should they, automatically.

*GASP*
Personally, I've _never_ found local PSTs to be the solution to anything,
other
than saving possibly corrupted mailboxes as a fail safe.
