Why in gods name are you saving email as a FILE? And where did you get the idea that just because you SAVED A COPY of the email that the ORIGINAL would disappear? It is highly unusual to SAVE emails as files. Not entirely unheard of, but not something people normally do. If you have mails you want to save: 1) You right click on "Local Folders" at the top and select "New Folder..." 2) You then give this new folder a name, perhaps something like "Mail I Want to Save for Later" or "Aunt Millie's Jokes" 3) Then, when Millie sends you a keeper, your Click on it's subject line in the message LIST window (which is usually at the top) and KEEPING YOUR LEFT MOUSE BUTTON PUSHED, you move the mouse to Aunt Millie's Jokes folder in the folder list. Then you let up on the mouse button, and answer the question indicating you want to MOVE the message here, or COPY the message here. CONGRATULATIONS: You have just mastered the technique of DRAGGING. BUT the key point is leave the mail inside of Kmail. Don't go depositing it all over you file system via Save AS. Save as is for exporting mail as a regular text file to some other part of your file system, where you will find it generally looks like a mess, as each mail is a separate file with headers and all sorts of un-interesting stuff cluttering up the place. The reason you think Kmail does not behave right is you are using it wrong. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
