I find that by saving to disc I can go back and read later what I might not have time for now, or what I would like to keep for reference. I have a disc for KY Legends, another for personal emails, one for computer tips, one for genealogy future leads, etc. I use Outlook Express, but there is probably a similar way to do it on all mail programs. I put a floppy in drive A: highlight the message I want to save: click "save as" under file: click A-drive for location: then save. I can then delete the message in the email inbox, and that eliminates the clutter and fullness there. When I want to read or answer what's on A:, I just open it on the disc. Hope this helps.
