Thanks everyone; I do not have the electronic emails in this case; I printed them out 7 years ago (ok, I admitted it; I print things out and stuff them in a file to work on later and it's much, much later!) Otherwise, I would definitely copy/paste; these are fairly long emails so will take some typing; luckily I'm a pretty quick typist!
Yes, I want them to show up in reports somewhere other than endnotes; of course, it would be good to be able to choose whether to show it or not. I have not printed too many reports; really just some basics to share with various branches of the family. So I'm hearing that if I create an event for each email (email from JohnDoe 1 Jan 2003) and then put the text of the email into the details of that event. I'm not seeing a source reference I would attach to that because everything would be right there in the event; it would be self explanatory. Then I would copy that event to the next person and highlight the details pertaining to the 2nd person, the way I do with census transcriptions. Just let me know if I'm understanding you all correctly.
