Hi Marcus, I didn't see the meeting either but often want to save a few emails outside of the email client database. One example, I run my own SMSF and want to keep emails to/from the auditor conveniently filed with my other audit documentation.
I just create an audit emails folder within my audit filing system and, with this folder selected in finder, every time I send or receive a relevant email I just drag and drop the message out of the email client window (Mail or Outlook works the same) into the folder. The original email is still in the email system so you can delete or refile as you wish. It makes it very easy to check the filed emails - each year I may have half a dozen or so emails in that years audit folder which can easily be perused just using quicklook (no need to open them in an email program). I often do this for online orders/receipts too - I find it easier than searching for the relevant email (even though my email is way over-filed into folders and sub-folders!!) I suspect others have their own systems which work for them - as do I for some types of email - but I do find the drag and drop very quick & easy to either a folder on the computer or a thumb drive, as I need.

I can’t attend meetings, but would be interested to know if there is recording or summary of the discussion for me to look at. Kind regards Marcus Marcus Harris P.O.
