How do I save replies?

[vcandys49]

There so many good replies and instead of trying to find them again, is there
some way to save them? Some replies are extremely helpful and I don't want
to "lose" them!

You have to give us something to work with. What are you using to read
news.
You can always just Ctrl-A Ctrl-C (select all and Copy) then paste to
a notepad document.
Some programs like Thunderbird allow you to copy the document to your
inbox or some other designated folders.

I just make a folder under inbox, say it is called "replys" or?? and drag
the reply to that folder.

I create a folder for each subject area--for example, Windows XP--in Outlook
Express. Then, in the message I want to save, I click on File, Copy to
Folder, and then scroll to the right folder and double click to save it
there.

You're using Outlook Express.

Now how did you figure that out. I looked at the source and see nothing
about OE.

 

[Bill in Co.]

You meant MOVE to, not COPY to, I presume.

I create a folder for each subject area--for example, Windows XP--in
Outlook
Express. Then, in the message I want to save, I click on File, Copy to
Folder, and then scroll to the right folder and double click to save it

Sorry, Meeber, I'm still in the neo-natal phase of using a computer. Do you
have time for a step-by-step?

He's clairvoyant.

 

[vcandys49]

I don't have Outlook Express, I have Yahoo Mail. It doesn't seem to have
"copy to folder" under "File".

PD43 might be good, but I'm not stepping out on that limb!

Right click on local folders.
Pick new folder
Call it what you like.
Now you simple click on a news article and drag it to that folder.
You will need to set your display to show messages in one pane and
folder tree in another pane (normally on the left).

You'll find saving replies is a lot easier if you access these newsgroups
through a newsreader such as Outlook Express instead of through the Microsoft
Discussions Groups web site. Take a look at these articles for how to configure
OE to access the Windows XP newsgroups.

Setting up Outlook Express Newsreader

Windows XP Newsgroup Setup Instructions for Outlook Express

As Jo-Anne Naples has already alluded to, you can create a new folder under
Local Folders in OE to store the replies you wish to save. Keep in mind you can
create subfolders for various topics if you like. Right click on any reply or
entire thread you want to save and select "Copy to" from the menu. You'll then
be able to navigate any of the folders you created earlier.

Good luck

There isn't any "move to" in these newsgroups, since you can't move a
message out of the newsgroup. All you can do is copy it where you want it.

 

[Nepatsfan]

You're using Outlook Express. Create a "saved replies" folder and
then drag and drop what you want to save to that folder.

Just out of curiosity, on what are you basing that conclusion? Microsoft CDO
for Windows means she's posting from Microsoft's Discussions Groups web site.

The same way I figured out that you're using Thunderbird.

Yes, that's in the header info in plain English. Thanks
I'll get the hang of this one year. I've got a good 20 left!.

 

[Bill in Co.]

Sorry, my bad. I probably was thinking of mail and attachments. Well
duh to me.

 

[Big Al]

How's the weather in Baltimore tonight?? <g>

Warmer than Chicago!

 

[Alan]

That's in Skokie, isn't it? :->

You clairvoyant!??

BTW... it's warmer here than in Baltimore. It's 71 right now.

You're using Outlook Express. Create a "saved replies" folder and
then drag and drop what you want to save to that folder.

No, she's using web interface. OE headers state what it is.
