[Ham-Computers] Saving e-mail messages "outside" MS Outlook Express?

[Ben Coleman]

Go to the little square box in the upper right corner and click restore.
This will allow you to see the icon (on your desktop) for "A" floppy
drive. Right click AND DRAG the 'subject' to the floppy drive. Bang! You
have copied it!!!
