[opensuse] Thunderbird and HTML
There is a class of HTML-containing incoming messages that I need to save as HTML. I access these later with Firefox. Now I am using the Thunderbird mail client. In Kmail, I could use the message-structure feature to save the HTML version of such messages. Thunderbird seems to lack the ability to display in a format called EML. I do not see a way to get the mailer to display or save the HTML part of a message, and hope that I am overlooking something. How is this done? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No, you just right click on the message, then "Save as ..."

If you want _only_ the html, I think you may have to extract that section manually. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (13.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ctrl+S will do.

Ctrl+S and change ".eml" to ".html". Done! A problem (for me) remain the images. They are stored on the server of the sender or in an imap directory. In Thunderbird I can't save them "as", so I have to copy & paste them. -- Harrie Baken | Tekstbureau TekstBaken Copy-editing - proofreading - seo http://www.tekstbaken.nl/ | harriebaken@linux.com IRCNet #TekstBaken | Skype: harricot Registered Linux user #366560 | openSUSE 11.4 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ah, neat trick.

If they're embedded, it shouldn't be a problem. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Marvelful!! Thank! I had seen that menu item, but "Save as file" didn't tell me much -- what file? I can only wonder what will happen when there are multiple assorted attachments, for example. Fortunately, the mails for which I want this function currently contain images only very rarely. If it were important to preserve them, I would convert the HTML to PDF, rather than accumulate loose image files. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
