Hi Trish, We are doing it the same way & you don't have to rename the file but, I rename files to take extra verbiage out of the subject line or, to make it easier to find with first letter navigation depending on what the content of the message is about. Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool.
----- Original Message ----- From: Trish To: jaws Sent: Friday, June 28, 2013 10:50 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Fw: Copy to flash drive Mike, I just saved this email without having to rename it, I saved it as .txt and then as the *email, it saved both of them to my documents. so a email can be saved with the .txt without renaming it from within the email client. Now, since I use window's mail, and have forgotten the settings for OE, maybe the .txt is not in the menus for OE? But if it is.. Then, your putting too much work on yourself, well in my opinion. Mike, I have a folder on my Trish shortcut. I do within windows mail, press alt f and do the same save as.. it could go to my recipes folder, but i let it default to the my documents folder. I then cut it from that folder put it in my recipes. Also, I just checked.. all the headers info is on the saved emails, from..subject..date, etc. I guess if you wanted to remove it, then you would repaste it in a .txt or word, but why bother? Well, that's my feelings. I just want to save it for future use, not really caring as to it's format. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike B." <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, June 28, 2013 12:08 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Copy to flash drive Hi Rich, Below are steps on saving from OE to your My Documents / Recipes folder. I am only using the Recipes folder as an example but, if you're going to save emails from different folders in OE it would be easier to make folders with the same titles in My Documents to keep them in the same order, so to speak. Here are the steps: Using Outlook Express below is 1 set of steps on how to save an email to the Recipe folder in your My Documents folder. 1. With the email you want to save highlighted / selected, press Alt + F, for the file menu, arrow down to save as, & press enter. Or press Alt + F, then press the letter, A. 2. A dialogue opens & you can change the name of the message here, if you want. 3.A. Tab 1 time to the save as combobox & right here this is where you choose which format you want to save the email as. Your choices are Mail *.eml, Text file *.txt, & Unicode Text File *.txt. Personally I save email in both .EML & .TXT formats but, you can't save them in both formats at the same time so, you have to save the email 2 times, once in each format. 3.B. We will use the .EML format for now. So, you are in the save as combobox, arrow down to Mail *.eml, tab 3 times to the save in combobox, arrow up or down to the My Documents folder, with the My documents folder highlighted, tab 3 more times to, folder view list view. This is a list of folders in your My Documents folder. 4. Arrow down to your Recipe folder & press enter to open the folder, now tab to the save button, & press the spacebar. Your recipe has now been saved in your Recipe folder. If you want to save this same email as a text file, your Recipe folder has already been selected so, you don't have to navigate to the Recipe folder. 5. Press Alt + F, then press the letter, A, tab 1 time to the save as combobox, press the letter T, for text file or arrow down to the Text File *.txt option, tab 1 time to save, & press the spacebar or enter. When you are in the save as combobox you can use first letter navigation instead of arrowing to your format of choice. Go look in your recipe folder to see if your messages have been saved the way you want them saved. Saving email outside of your email client takes some practice & getting used to but, it is well worth the extra work. If your email client was to become corrupted for whatever reason, having your email saved outside you won't lose your emails. Personally I don't have any emails saved in Outlook Express. Hope this helped. Take care.
