Hi Cearbhall.its good to hear you after that recent sparing match with Tom McGourke... The process as you say, is simply to transfer complete e-mails (warts and all) from Outlook Express to some other area of the system, for later retrieval if necessary. Maureen has also given me something to try, but I thought it better to respond to you before i start this experiment, as this could take all night. Thanks again for the offer of help and keep your guard up in case that man throws another punch, probably below the belt Regards Martin K ----- Original Message ----- From: Cearbhall O Meadhra To: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, December 09, 2007 6:47 PM Subject: [vicsireland] Re: Transferring E-mails Martin, I find your query intriguing. I cannot find any means of opening emails in Word under Outlook express. However, MS. Outlook does allow this function. Word also offers the option to use word as the email client. However, the problem seems to be how to get emails that arrive in Outlook to open in Word - is that correct? I think we could have a go at helping you to solve the problem if we knew the purpose and the process that you are trying to achieve.

If so,, go to "alt" and down to "save attachments", tab around to "save" and enter. Otherwise, I am afraid it is hard labour for you! ----- Original Message ----- From: martin kelly To: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, December 09, 2007 4:33 PM Subject: [vicsireland] Transferring E-mails Hi folks!
