I was thinking of writing a private dir key/value each time the program 
starts. Point taken, I'll concentrate on the form. Thank you for the tip.

Just learned something else.
Couldn't get this reply to go through then noticed the "To" was to 
Leslie and address was designed for anti-spam. After some digging I 
finally figured out that when I hit the "reply" button the email is 
going to the person I am responding to. Finally saw a "reply to List" 
option.

I apologize to all those that got email replies to their addresses.
