Creating E-Mail Digests from Threads.
I am still using KMail at this time (KDE 2.2.1/2 and SuSE 7.3 Pro) and was wondering if there is a way I can create digests from threads that I have saved from the list correspondence on particular issues, so that I can create my own archive. The idea would be that the archive could be read in basically any e-mail client (or maybe also any word processor) for more or less any platform. The idea being that it could be used according to topic for reference purposes Cheers, Brian

Create a new folder and move all of your messages into it. You'll find a standard (ISO-8859) file of the same name as your folder there. This can be viewed in just about any email client (mutt, pine, netscape). Even the viewer in mc understands the format. As for Outlook, there will probably be an import process as Microsoft decided to ignore the standard. - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE9DdLQ+FOexA3koIgRAgVJAKCt5Q1xxZ0FqcrnthLn7McFN5R7qgCggQ+W pnz4RNP+Sn5B+TE+NyUTNuo= =t3es -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I dragged like you said and got prompted for a name for the text clipping, which I named. There doesn't seem to be any app that can open the file. All return "no data", including Netscape, Advanced Editor, etc. This sounded sooo easy. Brian

Ah, sounds like you dragged it into Konqueror. I should have mentioned that I meant KMail folders. The ones in that upper left pane in KMail. Just right-click in there and "Add child folder" then drag the messages from the upper-right pane into it. Each of these folders will be a file under the 'Mail' directory under your home directory.
