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.
