[ARC5] Looking for an easy way to copy 200 ARC-5 emails to a Word doc

[kn7sfz]

Hi Tom,

I too, have put all my ARC-5 related emails into a folder on my email 
client, Thunderbird.  They are a treasure trove of info.

I named that folder "milsurplus" as I have other related stuff as well.

The Thunderbird client allows me to right click on the folder and input 
search terms to find a subject in which I'm interested at the time.  As 
for transferring all those emails to a Word doc, I supposed one of the 
folks here might have an easy way.  I just prefer to keep them in the 
email folder.

Good luck and I will follow this thread with interest.
