Windows Forum / Windows XP / General Topics 1 / May 2008How do I save replies?
There so many good replies and instead of trying to find them again, is there some way to save them? Some replies are extremely helpful and I don't want to "lose" them! > There so many good replies and instead of trying to find them again, is there > some way to save them?

You can always just Ctrl-A Ctrl-C (select all and Copy) then paste to a notepad document. Some programs like Thunderbird allow you to copy the document to your inbox or some other designated folders. I just make a folder under inbox, say it is called "replys" or?? and drag the reply to that folder. >> There so many good replies and instead of trying to find them again, is >> there some way to save them?

Do you > have time for a step-by-step? Right click on local folders. Pick new folder Call it what you like. Now you simple click on a news article and drag it to that folder. You will need to set your display to show messages in one pane and folder tree in another pane (normally on the left). OP's header info.

Just out of curiosity, on what are you basing that conclusion? Microsoft CDO for Windows means she's posting from Microsoft's Discussions Groups web site. http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx Nepatsfan >>>There so many good replies and instead of trying to find them again, is there >>>some way to save them?

The one I saw was: X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.3790.2992 I got Big Al's Thunderbird right, though!! <g> The date and time was 5/25/2008 5:38 PM, and on a whim, PD43 pounded out on the keyboard: >> There so many good replies and instead of trying to find them again, is there >> some way to save them?

No, she's using web interface. OE headers state what it is.  SignatureTerry R. ***Reply Note*** Anti-spam measures are included in my email address. Delete NOSPAM from the email address after clicking Reply. I create a folder for each subject area--for example, Windows XP--in Outlook Express. Then, in the message I want to save, I click on File, Copy to Folder, and then scroll to the right folder and double click to save it there.

There isn't any "move to" in these newsgroups, since you can't move a message out of the newsgroup. All you can do is copy it where you want it. > You meant MOVE to, not COPY to, I presume. > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >>> want >>> to "lose" them! Sorry, my bad. I probably was thinking of mail and attachments. Well duh to me. > There isn't any "move to" in these newsgroups, since you can't move a > message out of the newsgroup.

It doesn't seem to > have "copy to folder" under "File". Unless you specifically deleted it (doubtful) you also have Outlook Express. If you also have Yahoo/SBC DSL (maybe other ISPs, don't know) you can use OE to read/write your Yahoo mail instead of having to go to Yahoo.

You'll find saving replies is a lot easier if you access these newsgroups through a newsreader such as Outlook Express instead of through the Microsoft Discussions Groups web site. Take a look at these articles for how to configure OE to access the Windows XP newsgroups. Setting up Outlook Express Newsreader http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/outlookexpressnewreader.htm Windows XP Newsgroup Setup Instructions for Outlook Express http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/newsgroupsetup.mspx As Jo-Anne Naples has already alluded to, you can create a new folder under Local Folders in OE to store the replies you wish to save. Keep in mind you can create subfolders for various topics if you like. Right click on any reply or entire thread you want to save and select "Copy to" from the menu. You'll then be able to navigate any of the folders you created earlier. Good luck Nepatsfan Forward them to yourself.
