How do I save replies?

[Guest vcandys49]

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!

You have to give us something to work with. What are you using to read

news.

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.

You're using Outlook Express. Create a "saved replies" folder and

then drag and drop what you want to save to that folder.

I just make a folder under inbox, say it is called "replys" or?? and drag

the reply to that folder.

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.

Now how did you figure that out. I looked at the source and see nothing

about OE.

You meant MOVE to, not COPY to, I presume.

Sorry, Meeber, I'm still in the neo-natal phase of using a computer. Do you

have time for a step-by-step?

He's clairvoyant. :-)

Re: How do I save replies?

 

I don't have Outlook Express, I have Yahoo Mail. It doesn't seem to have

"copy to folder" under "File".

The same way I figured out that you're using Thunderbird.

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).

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

Re: How do I save replies?

 

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.

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.

Yes, that's in the header info in plain English. Thanks :-)

I'll get the hang of this one year. I've got a good 20 left!.

Sorry, my bad. I probably was thinking of mail and attachments. Well

duh to me.

Actually, I took a quick look at the headers and got the wrong one!!

The one I saw was:

 

X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.3790.2992

 

I got Big Al's Thunderbird right, though!! <g>

No, she's using web interface. OE headers state what it is.
