[ARC5] Looking for an easy way to grab each ARC=5 email and put it in a Word document?

Tom,

I do not get messages in digest form - a digest may be contain all of a message that I’d want to put into a Word file.

I hit the “reply” button, and that gets me the time and date of a message - I then highlight and copy the content of the message I want - I leave out most of the normal footer stuff like this;

ARC5 mailing list
Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/arc5

I then paste it in the word document I have ready, 

(It may be easier to highlight the part of the message I wand and DRAG it into the nearby open Word file - I work on a Mac. so I don’t know if that works in Windoze.)

I may also then copy the Subject: line so I know the topic of the message - most likely for the first of a series/thread of a topic.

and close without sending or saving the “reply draft” message.

An alternative way is to “Save” a message I am reading to a text file, then open and copy that - that contains more info such as additional headers.  But it leaves behind a text file of the message that I likely will want to erase.
