Tony, I don't use any of the suggestions made to date!
My Win7 came shipped with a Snipping Tool program which enable me to take a screen shot of whatever section of an email I wish to include in the source and save it as a JPG. On my other set-ups (XP and Vista) I use Gadwin Print Screen, a free download program from http://www.gadwin.com/printscreen/ which uses the keyboard PrtScn key to do the same job.

I don't know about a 4, but I use 3. If there is an attachment to an e-mail I Source it as a separate item. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
