    I have about 300 e-mails from a listserv I subscribe to, and would like to take them home to read over the weekend, in a text file.

    I tried printing to a file, txt or pdf, and I'm not given the option. It will print all 300 mails to my printer (NO!) or print only the subject lines to a file?

    The weird thing is that I once exported the whole thing to a txt file back one time after I came back from vacation. But when I go to export, after selecting only 300 of them, it only wants to give me options to put them in DOS or Excel formats. I don't remember that being how it worked.

    Anyone have a second to link me to how to do this again? =\

    (And maybe a dynamic text reader, that will change text colors depending on certain criteria you define? I know some of those free, open-source notepads are pretty beefy... But I'm not sure there's one that does specifically what I want...)

    Have you tried setting a generic text only printer on the FILE: port and printing to that ;)

    I tried using the printer wizard, selecting "print to file" for my port option, but then it still takes me to lists of specific models. What do you mean by generic? This is a step beyond what I'm used to - usually I print to pdf and it just works. >_< I'm a bad tech.
