Oops, Laura, you missed about two or three steps for saving .htm messages in Keyword. For thoroughness, let's go through all the steps again, marking the ones missing from your post:
1) While within the HTML message, press SPACE with S (CTRL with S) to save. You will be informed that the file has not been modified, but just ignore that. [missing step] 2) Hit BACKSPACE twice to get to the drive prompt. By default, if the e-mail was opened in Keymail, the destination drive and folder will be the root directory of the Keysoft Systems Disk, since the file opened is WP Temp.txt. If the e-mail was transferred from PC to the BN, saved in the Flash Disk, and opened in Keyword, then it's all right to save the .htm file in the same folder (although I save it in the cf card instead, and perhaps that's what Jim would like to do). [missing step] 3) Press BACKSPACE with X (CTRL with X) until you hear the prompt "Create a text document, Keyword type" or "Create an ASCII text file". This is especially necessary for BT users because by default, the file will be saved as a Keyword Braille document and that will result in a .kwb file with .htm in its file name. Selecting a text file format (be it .kwb, .txt, .rtf or .doc), and typing in a .htm extension will save a real HTML file. [not really missing, but incomplete, step] 4) Type in the file name with the .htm extension. If you selected to create a Keyword type text document, the Braille grade entry is grade 2 and so the period before the three-letter extension is typed as dot 4, dots 4-6. If this is confusing, then press BACKSPACE with J first (FUNCTION with O, then G, C) to switch to computer Braille, and then type the file name in computer Braille (period is just dots 4-6). If you selected to create an ASCII text file or any non-Keyword type text document, then by default, the Braille grade entry is computer Braille. I think it's important to point this out because some people use just the display, with the prompt about computer Braille being required turned off. 5) Exit the e-mail or file with HTML codes and Press ENTER with BACKSPACE with I (FUNCTION with 0) to enter Keyweb. Press SPACE once, then BACKSPACE once (to change the folder only) or twice (to change the drive) and select the drive or folder accordingly. 6) At the prompt "List of Favorites in blah-blah folder", press SPACE with X (READ with X) so that Braille, text and HTML files can be viewed. Space through the list and hit ENTER on the .htm file. 7) You can save this as a .txt file so that you can read it using Keyword or Keybook. When Keyweb displays the HTML file, press SPACE with S (CTRL with S), select the destination drive and folder, and give the file a name with a .txt extension (note that it's no longer necessary to press BACKSPACE or CTRL with X). However, Jim, if the problem you have with the so-called gibberish parts of the message are =20 and – the instructions Laura and I gave will not remove those, and you have to edit them out manually. Also, if the e-mails you're reading on the BN are .eml files from Outlook or OE, then there will be extra lines about MIME format, content transfer encoding, so on and so forth right above the message which you must delete manually as well, before saving as a different file type. Laura's instructions on changing the e-mail address appearing in the From headers is correct. There's absolutely no need to delete the Address List definition file for this, Jim. And even if you do, that doesn't clear out previously entered information in the Address List option under Keymail Setup. Only a deletion of the Keysoft.ksd file can do that, which I do not recommend that you or anyone tries, except when it's very necessary, which it isn't in this case.
