Ho to Copy news messages

I wanted to export all of the messages I am interested in in a text file,
but I do not know how to do it. Do you know if it can be done and how ?

Re:Ho to Copy news messages


I'm using Forte's Free Agent (www.forteinc.com). For this newsreader,
it's just File -> Save messages As. This brings up a save dialog which
allows me to save one or more messages to a text file, either as a new
file or by appending to an existing file. Very nice :-) You can have
it put in a custom separator line, which would make it easy to save as
a large text file with many messages, then use Delphi to break it into
individual messages again.

If your newsreader has no way to save to file, I would:
1. download the Free Agent, or
2. copy and paste to a word processor (yuk)

hth,
Dan

Re:Ho to Copy news messages


You can create new folder "Delphi" and copy all messages you are interested
in into that folder,
so you will be able to read it any time.
