John, You might do better with plain text.

I have been saving important incoming messages in Mail to my documents folder as rtf, which seems to be the preferred default. Well, when I went to bring this particular file into Text Edit I had a jolly bear of a time trying to cut that message down to what was most needed, the confirmation number and flight arrival departure info. For one thing, I could not find the word "confirmation" at least, not where I needed it most. For another, when I went to shave beginning blank lines from the file, absolutely nothing happened. I could not delete these by selecting from here to top, and I could not delete them one at a time. Not a very positive experience at all. Perhaps I need important information which would make dealing with this type of file or message more productive. Thanks in advance, js
