Hi all,

I need some help figuring out how to edit Internet Explorer's main
window. Here's the situation. I'm accessing a mail list, and when
the list is presented in the main window I want to run a Perl program
to strip out only mail threads in which I have participated. So, that
after running the Perl program all that displays in the browser's main
window are those threads in which I've participated. So, the question
is how do I get access to the html that was download, and how do I
replace it with a stripped down version? I can handle the programming
of stripping it down, just need some help on how to access the
original html and how to replace it with the stripped down version.

Thanks in advance for your help.
Don

You can install ActivePerl (do a search and you will find it). Once
installed, you can use perl as a scripting language inside of IE. Then you
can either write an HTA with an iframe, load the content into the iframe and
retrieve the content into the parent "window" to be processed by dhtml perl,
or you could write a vb or .net app that includes a webbrowser control and
do something similar.
