Thanks for the information though, and of course, the plugin!

Aah I see now. From looking at the mobi document using Mobi2MobiGui I can see that The Economist download has a mobi_type of 259 - News Magazine, and in fact it looks like it doesn't contain the cdetype in extended header.

Do you happen to know whether the kindle uses this field to stop it being put into a collection? And will your next version allow a MOBI file of type 259 without a cdetype to be added to a collection?

(Personally I don't care about the periodical back issue stuff - I'd be much happier controlling that myself rather than letting the kindle do it for me).

Phill
