   Sounds similar to what I did here... except mine is done with a simple right   
   click on the MID.

   Mine is set to name the files based on MID and source. For example, if I get   
   yours from Paganini it is named:   
      
       XnsB3DEC9BC27CDBHT1[at]cF04o3ON7k2lx05.lLC.9r5_PAG.txt   
      
   Name and noting it came from Paganini (PAG).

   It's impossible for someone who is at war with themselves to be at peace with   
   you.
