How to Save Email Messages Anywhere
(Outlook Express 5 & 6 on Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP - Windows Mail on Windows Vista)
You can save a message in any folder on your hard drive in either .eml format or as plain text. If you save the files as .eml, they will open in Outlook Express when you double-click them. If you save as .txt (text) file, all the formatting will be lost (no pictures, no clickable links, etc.) and it will open in Notepad. To save a message, highlight it then choose File, Save As, and save to a folder of your choice. Be sure you choose .eml or .txt under the "save as type" and give the email a good recognizable name so you'll have some idea what it is later on. If you want to save multiple messages, you will find that the "Save As" option is grayed out. Just drag and drop the messages into a folder on your hard drive. To do this, highlight all the messages you want to save, right mouse click and drag to the folder you want to save them in; you will be given the option to either copy or move them. If you choose Move, that message will no longer be in your Outlook Express, so you may want to choose Copy. Windows will save them each as a .eml file and will name it by the subject line of the message. You can right mouse click and "rename" each after they are moved, for easier reference.

Three For Thee - Windows Tips You Can Use!
Windows (selected versions)
Boot Pause
Windows XP - all versions
The Windows XP boot process is made up of several sections, represented by different screens. During the one of these processes, when the screen background is black, you can press the ESC key, and the boot process will pause until you press another key. During this screen, the system is waiting to see if you press F5 or F8 to choose other boot options, so pressing ESC causes it to wait indefinitely.
F3 for Thee - Gee!
Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP Outlook Express 5 and 6 and Windows Mail on Windows Vista
Trying to remember what email contains the information you are looking for? Open Outlook Express and select a folder. Now click your F3 key to do a search through your email folder(s) for an email message containing your key search words. This comes in handy for finding stored information in email such as password, registration numbers, events, etc. Don't want to forget uncle Jake's 95th birthday celebration, do you?
