[mso] Re: Save Outlook email and read/research it later?

Hi Robert,

No, that's not doable, I'm afraid.
Outlook requires it's messages stores (PST files) to be NOT marked 'read only', 
and that's not possible on DVD/CD media.

But really, how big are your PST files? Are they really causing you to run low 
on hard drive space? If so, you are probably better off shelling out for a 
bigger drive than worrying about trying to access PST files from removable 
media.

Cheers
