Hans: I don't mess around with emails at all, to tell you the truth. I have 2 Word documents, called RBaseArticles and Version7. Going back many years, if there was an email with something I thought was good, I'd the text into my RBaseArticles document. I have separate sections with headers like "General installation, migration", "PlugIns, UDFs", "Date / Time functions", "Network problems". That document is 22 pages. Very easy to search.
Then when Version 7 came out, I started a new document for just that, again with headers. If I wrote a nice piece of code and wanted to make sure I could find it and reuse it, I put that into the document too. This document is now 174 pages and is invaluable to me! I've thought of selling it .... If someone had time on their hands, they could start up a Word document by going thru their emails. As for the PDFs, I skim the ones that I have, rename them to something easier for me to identify. If there's only a small part of the PDF that's "new or cool", then I copy that part into my Word document and erase the PDF. Or I may put a note in my Word document referring to the PDF document by name.
