>I'll try that, but I think it might be my error. Once I've collected the whole thread I move it to a local .htm file and pop that file into the lower right frame. I'm getting the error do a thread get when that file is in the frame instead of the normal UT message. I should be able to code against this case.

Sounds like a fun project! Just curious, when you collect the whole thread and move it to a local .htm file, you aren't ending up with multiple < BODY > tags (one for each message) are you?
