This is a comment for all. I made a decision a long time ago after losing a bunch of e-mails that I had saved NEVER to save e-mails again. If there is something I want to keep for whatever reason I cut and past the whole e-mail of the applicable part into a word document and save the document. One obvious advantage is you don't have to be online to check your info that you have saved. If you keep it with the e-mail address then it is easy enough to write back. I never have more that 50 or so e-mails in box at any one time and I subscribe to anumber of rootsweb list. Doug Burnett Satellite Beach FL ************** Planning your summer road trip?

Another handy way to keep email is to send it directly to EverNote and its applicable category. Thunderbird mail has an EverNote clipper button, so just click that and off the whole email goes, or select a section and then click the button. Later you can print all these emails in chronological order in pdf. I don't know whether the other mail programs have clipper buttons. You can check this out yourself at http://evernote.com/about/what_is_en/ They are about to release v.3 and they've changed the look of their website, so it would take me some time to learn the new navigation. There's a free version that can do almost anything you could want. -- JL JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www3.telus.net/Jgen/jlog.html WarnerCaldwell@aol.com wrote: > In a message dated 4/11/2008 9:05:16 AM W.
