using telnet

[johnturmel]

In Windows 98, the telnet has four buttons
Connect, Edit, Terminal, Help.
Terminal let me start a log file so I could scroll my mail and capture it
for later reading. The vista telnet doesn't have any buttons. How to capture?

Uhhhh.

microsoft.public.windows.vista.general might be a better choice. Outlook
isn't really part of that.

Use a command prompt window and when done, click the icon at the left end of
the title bar. Choose Edit>Mark, drag the mouse over the data in th window
you want to capture, press Enter to copy it, then paste it in a text file
you create in Notepad or paste it into a Word document, if you choose. This
is what I do, any way.

Jct: A better choice for what? I don't use outlook. My ISP scrolls all my
mail
at once which I capture and read later as a text file.
Are you saying there is another way to get all my mail in on file?

I'm saying that you posted to microsoft.public.outlook.general.

You're using the web based reader, it seems. Either set up Windows Mail to
connect to the news server (actually, Microsoft Communities is there by
default now, isn't it?) or switch over to

Not an Outlook issue. This is an issue with whatever telnet client
you choose to use and your choice of using a shell account to have a
server-side process view a text-only version of your email using the
telnet protocol rather than use a local email client that yanks a copy
of it using POP3, IMAP4, or other mail transfer protocol.

Sounds like you have a GUI telnet client under Windows 98 but are
using the telnet.exe console-mode program under Vista. When using a
console-mode program that sends its output to the console (stdout),
you will have use the copy-paste function provided by that console's
window. Or use a different (i.e., 3rd party) telnet client. Telnet
is not a GUI-orient protocol but instead transfers text but it is
possible that someone wrote a shell to present a GUI for it.
