Understood.  But if you're just -adding individual POP files, it's very handy
to be able to *simply* associate an individual POP file input with a
msg#####.htm output -- e.g. in case you want to -rmm it and convert it again
for some reason (lots of good reasons, actually).  Having to grep through the
POP files to find a Msg-Id is tedious.  Surely this is a tiny mod to one of the
source files -- truth is, I need to get a grip on Perl -- and would right away,
if I had enough use for Perl; but in the meantime, Earl, if it's not an
imposition, what would code to print the input filename look like?
