Dump complete e-mail to file

[Pat Garard]

G'Day All,

Like everyone else, I suffer from some SPAM. Mostly I trap it (OL2003
Junk E-mail) and delete it. Periodically, however, I extract the header,
extract the source, track down the originating Domain and complain to
their abuse centre - this seems to give the best outcome/hour spent.

Does anyone know of an easy way to 'dump' the _complete_ e-mail
to a text file in one hit?

There isn't any way in the Outlook user interface, as far as I can tell. I
generally use Pocketknife Peek for that.

Thanks Brian,

On http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/viewing_headers.htm I found ...

Open the registry editor and navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Options\Mail
Right-click on the right pane and choose
New --> DWORD,
ParameterName: "SaveAllMIMENotJustHeaders"
Value: 1
(That's Save All ........ not Save AII ....)

When you right-click an e-mail and select Options, the entire e-mail appears
instead of the header only.

OL2003 - mail from external mailboxes only - not Exchange mailboxes.

Works!
