Thank you for all the suggestions to cut and paste from a digest format. I received many different suggestions. The one repeated most was to cut and paste and mail to myself. This worked. The other suggestions I haven't tried yet but I will to see which I like most. Others suggested • I cut and paste to a document and then edit. • I use clip mate (but this was not for a Mac I have a Mac) • copy and Paste instead of cut and paste( think I tried that with no success) and variations of above • and some send me the means to just cut and paste. Again, thanks
