suggested.

Mail in Outlook Express . (OE).. when saved... in OE...have a .eml
extension.
When you double click on them..it opens them as an email.
You could highlight the emails individually and save them as .eml files on
your hard drive.
Create a folder..maybe for each subject (OE File Folder name?) and save them
in those kind of folders.
You could an email and then 'drag &drop' other emails into it..and save it
that way. But remember..those are going to be pretty big files if you save
a lot of emails in one email.
If you have 10 short emails from granny, you could do that.... or.. you
could open a Word (or any word processing program..even note pad) and copy
and paste the precious words of granny into one email.
Or.. you could buy a program that backups up OE mail. I have such a program
that costs about $35. It can be checked out at http://www.ajsystems.com/
It seems they just came out with a new version. I have version 6 and now
they have version 7. In reviewing the features it seems like this is
something I will upgrade to. One of the main reasons is you can view an
email without having to restore everything. I like that feature.
What I have done in the past...since I am on a number of graphics groups..is
have my message rules put mail from a group in a folder. Then I file what I
can... and dump what I can..and when there is too much to file..and I have
dumped what I don't want..I backup the folder. Then I delete the folder in
OE. I create a new folder with the same name and a new date...(in the
title). Then I have the graphics backed up and I can restore then when I
want to..and file them away...but there is no rush..(except my own priority)
and I know they are safe. I could do this with the new software..but it
appears I may be able to do more and just open the ones I really want at the
moment and then I could save the graphics out of them...cool!
There may be some good free programs around. Folks on this list are great
about knowing about that. I just have been using the Express Assistant
program for a long time...(probably 1 1/2 to 2 yrs..and I am happy with it)
These are just my opinions... I am sure there are other and smarter folks
here that may advise you otherwise.
No matter what..you have to make the decision of what is best for you... So
look at a few options...
Hugs,
Rose

I have lots of folders in Outlook Express with things I would like to save.
I have a CD burner. I don't see any option to send it anywhere from OE. Does
anyone know how to do this?
