Save that e-mail
Q.
You are always telling us to back up the things we want to keep. How can I just back up one e-mail message, not all of them ?
A.
You could just print it you know, but if you want it on the hard drive do this:
Open up Outlook Express. Open the folder that contains the e-mail message you want to make a copy of. Also open Windows Explorer and open the folder where you want the copy of the message to be stored. Back in Outlook Express, highlight the e-mail message and drag it into the Windows Explorer window (or onto the Windows Explorer button on the taskbar). A file will be created with an "eml" extension, which is the backup copy of your e-mail message.
To read it click on the saved message using Windows Explorer, OE will open so you can view the saved email. (noth’n to it)
