Can someone tell me how to edit outlook express messages so I only save the part I want to save? TIA

There are two methods. One is to forward and remove everything that you don't want. Send it to yourself or save as a draft and move it to the folder where you want to keep it. Another means is to drag the mouse (with the button held down) over the text that you want, then press Control C (hold the control while pressing C). Start a new email or document and click in the message section or body of the new document and press Control V to paste. This will be the clean text. To get a picture (jpg) you can also forward the email containing it and erase all text and the jpg will still be attached. Or you can right click and save the attachment to a location that you can find. (My documents or desktop).

Yea Bob ,,,, there are several ways to do that. 1. Click on New Mail, address to yourself, enter a pertinent "Subject", then Copy & Paste what you want to keep from the message into the new mail ,,,, DO NOT SEND the new mail ,,, SAVE it, this will save it into your "Drafts" folder, from there, Drag & Drop it into whatever folder you wish. 2. Click on "Reply", Reply All" or "Forward", this will open the message so that it can be edited ,,, highlight and delete everything you do not want to keep ,,, again, DO NOT SEND ,,, SAVE it as above. NOTES on using the save features: 1. If you use "Save" : A) The message will be saved in the "Drafts" folder. B) Will need to be moved to a folder of your choice. C) The "To" field will retain the original recipients name. D) The "Subject" field will retain the original subject information. 2. If you use "Copy To Folder" : A) The message will be saved to the folder of your choice. B) The "From" field will be changed to your name. C) The "Subject" field will retain the original subject information. 3. If you use "Save As" : A) The message will be saved to a folder on your hard drive. 1. If saved as a .eml file: a) File name is the same as the "Subject" field. b) can be reopened in OE by double clicking on it. c) can also be opened in a text editor. d) contains message body and headers. 2. If saved as a .txt file: a) File name is the same as the "Subject" field. b) cannot be reopened in OE by double clicking on it. c) can be opened in a text editor. d) contains message body only ,,, no headers 3. If saved as a Unicode Text file : a) File name is the same as the "Subject" field. b) Saved as an encoded file. c) Sorry ,,, that's all I know about this one.
