Volks, By the responses to my post, it appears I haven't made myself clear....I wish to remove the header info and other unnecessary/redundant information from each saved message, not simply move each message to various sub-folders. This categorisation into numerous sub-folders does not reduce the space occupied by the accumulation of postings, which is what I mean to do. Roy O. '87 Westfalia GL (till death us do part)
| I've been culling interesting and useful postings since becoming a listee and | moving these postings to a separate folder in Outlook Express 5. This folder has | become a monster (in size) so I need to reduce the unnecessary information | stored therein. Does anyone know of a way to automate a process which would | easily strip away redundant information such as To/From, original text in | replies/forwards, etc. and move the rest of the posting to a word | processing/spreadsheet app such as Word or Excel? I've begun editing incoming | postings from another list as they arrive then saving as a Word doc, but this | can get v-e-r-y tedious! There must be a better way to save good Vanagon | content and avoid using the archives. | | |
