There has been so much rubbish posted lately that it's more expedient to just read the gardening related topics then delete the entire newsgroup. I delete the group daily! David. |

I find this daily clearout approach better than weeding out individual threads or trolls who keep changing their names anyway. David. |

Thanks David. |

But if you delete the whole thing each time you lose all the valuable articles from the better contributors! |

But if you delete the whole thing each time you lose all the valuable articles from the better contributors! I treat the group like a daily newspaper. I read it then throw it away. If any articles are really that useful for future reference I tear out the article and save it (in a different folder). However, there is no real need to save anything with Google at hand to find archives. David. |

Hi all,
As you are all on the subject of OE, I have a question I hope someone can help me with. Is there any way that I can copy and save a complete thread either to a folder on one of my drives and away from OE or paste the complete thread directly into a Word document? At the moment, I can only copy or move emails and threads into another folder within OE and I'm worried that I might either accidentally delete these or have a problem with OE and have to re-install it, losing all the information. At the moment when I want to save any important threads, I have to copy and paste each email, one at a time, which is very time consuming. I suspect the answer is no as I've searched and searched for an answer everywhere I can think of but haven't found even a mention of being able to do so. Regards, John |

Regards, John I am now using windows mail. so cannot test this. previously in outlook I was able to save messages as emails and was then able to store them elsewhere. don't worry if you lose stuff, you can always check the archives in Google. |

However, there is no real need to save anything with Google at hand to find archives. Same approach. Using Turnpike, I can set everything to be deleted a fixed time after reading it (I think I have set in on 24 hrs). If I want to keep anything, I mark it to be kept (either individual posts or a whole thread) and it just stays there until I change my mind. And the Turnpike kill rules are very flexible, so I am untroubled by cross-posts or by posters who I dislike. -- Kay |

In reply to David (Normandy) ) who wrote this in
, I, Marvo, say : But if you delete the whole thing each time you lose all the valuable articles from the better contributors! I treat the group like a daily newspaper. I read it then throw it away. If I did that I'd read it then spend the evening doing the Su Doku, crosswords, then scribble moustaches on the people's pictures. |

We are going to have to move from Turnpike because although it has been excellent for all these years it is seriously under stress now that tom has upgraded the windows and I.E. on the computer that receives all the mail. It takes and age to go from a link in a message to I.E. and then cobbles everything else up. It really does NOT like the new I.E. at all in fact although we haven't even got the blessed software on the computer any more it still seems to find the interface of the previous I.E. when going to the web Janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
