I'm sorry, but what is "a scrollable text box".

I'm a dummy, and usually dare not venture a guess, but are you talking html? tk? jellybelly?

Let's see, 20,000 emails to a file, at 3 files, with an average lenghth of email address 35 (just for kicks), + 1 character for newlines, that's roughly 60,000 * 35 =2,160,000 bytes...
