Diane in OH > > ==== ROLL-CALL Mailing List ==== Hi Diane, I'm using Netscape, I go to Edit and tell it to mark all messages in the folder, then go to file and tell it to save as "a:\whatever." It moves the messages right over to the floppy. Now, the problem is, if you select all messages, it will move them over to the floppy as one item, and you will have to scroll through that one item by using Notepad to read the messages. That's what I usually do. If there is a message you want to save as a separate item, highlight it and save it as a:\whatever. Then you will be able to locate it as a single item. You can also save to your hard drive, I just prefer to keep as much off the hard drive as I can. Elaine >
