Frederick -- Thanks so much for your kind words!
My best advice is to do what Seth suggests - let him set you up in another digest format. (I could go on about "quoted-printable encoding" and "html code" and "mail user agents", but it wouldn't really help.). This kind of thing is why I made the ECD list a plain-text only list and try to keep it that way. Second best advice is that when you see a message you want to save and find it's got all this detritus when you save it is that you can web over to the shared-weight site and find the message you want in the online archive, then cut and paste the contents of the message into a text file on your system (in Windows, you can use Notepad for that; on my Mac I would use the Terminal app and use vi to open a file although once in Terminal I could also do a Unix incantation to copy from the input stream into a file.). The crucial point is cutting and pasting the text, which probably won't have all the detritus, from the archive. Good luck! -- Alan ________________________________ From: Frederick Park <[email protected]> on behalf of Frederick Park via Organizers <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, December 18, 2020 11:19 AM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: [Organizers] Re: Organizers Digest, Vol 64, Issue 1 Dear Alan, Thanks so much for all that you share and do for those who you’ve chosen as you extended family. I’ve been a subscriber and reader, without commenting a single time to posts, for many years now. Though I’ve saved most of those posts that have come my way, like the text below, the formatting of the notes shared always includes much that reads as "computer speak” related to formatting. Do you know if there is a program that I may run these shared weight posts through that will strip out the extraneous background formatting text before I save them? I do it all by hand and it’s frequently a long, engaging process. I hope this finds you well. I will look forward to visit again sooner than later I hope. Again, I appreciated all that you shared within our community last Tuesday! Thanks so much.
