I use Alpine and one can save an email as text with/without headers. With the gmail UI one can print to pdf... but i don't think you mean that. I'm switching to VM as soon as xubuntu gets emacs 24 on board. Just joined the VM list in advance. > That said, gmail is a great imap server for VM :-) I use it as i was so disappointed with yahoo, aol and others. Gmail does seem to be the best unless one is setting up a mail server. james
