Hi,

I am posting this for a collegue who is not able to read news. Any
answers or comments, please mail them to him directly. His email
address is below. Thanks for your cooperation.

At SURFnet we want to set up a database (sort of archive) for E-mail. In 
there E-mail messages will have to be stored by addresses, subject and 
SURFnet-archive number. The archive should be closed to the outside world 
and open to all SURFnet personell.

It is the electronic version of our paper archive I'm looking for. If I 
sent out/receive post now, it is (if important enough) registered in a book 
and gets a SURFnet-archive number. It is then stored in the archive 
somewhere. The archive number is the index by which you can look up the 
post.

As I imagine that companies will want to implement such a thing also (now 
or in the near future). I was wondering if anybody knows about any program 
that does such things, or may be usefull in achieving them.

Any suggestion is welcome,
