I did recently have a graphic sent to me with some file extension I can't remember and it took me several tries (different saves and extensions) to be able to open it and finally save a copy as a jpeg.time I might get the code (then I try the save as txt and open in something else trick) and half the time it works fine.
What I get is gobbeledeygook code in the body of the message.
Are you saying I can paste the text into TextEdit, save as txt and then open in Photoshop or something? Really?
I do save emails in txt a lot. There is probably some better way to do it but it is the main way I archive email from my web accounts. Because I can't leave stuff in my Yahoo or Hotmail (because of space) I take it off, save it as text and keep documents for certain correspondents and/or time periods. Ideally I'd be able to put them in a sort of database format so it's more easily searchable (i.e. body text in one data field, headers in separate data fields). Most standard archiving I've been able to figure out requires that you re-access messages through the program (like Outlook or Eudora) and I want archives I can use without having to launch my email program. Like, I said, no doubt there is some more tech-savvy way of archiving but I move email to text files.
