Chris wrote: "I just posted one that I have been using. I am pretty sure I found it on FogCity.com, but maybe not. Its called Save Many To Text, and what it does is you select a bunch of messages, and when you run the script on them, it creates one text file, with the contents off all the messages saved in it. Its fairly fast too (I saved something like 300 messages in just a few seconds IIRC, don't quote me on actual speed, I just know it was MUCH faster than the other script I use which saves the messages as individual text files). I don't remember what order it saves in, but I recall having a problem with that before. I think maybe it saves them in date order, and I had my view in subject order... or maybe it was the other way around. But I do know that it uses ITS order, and doesn't pay attention to the order you have things sorted in the browser. You can get it from my ftp site, look for the file "Save many to text.sit.hqx" " Question: What is the difference among: a. The "Save many to text" script from Chris's ftp site b. The "Export-Digest" script (says it does "RFC 934 encapsulation", whatever that is?) c. The "Save as text" of the Emailer File menu? (only available for single files?
