Hi,

Is it possible with Mozilla to save a complete folder of emails as one
..txt doc?

I used to do this with The Bat! email client and would like to do same
with Mozilla, I have a lot of Yahoo groups mail in filtered folder and I
save them every week or so for reference and store to CD, to select
all and save as one doc was very handy and quicker than saving
individual mails.

Thanks

A folder in Mozilla mail/news IS already one large text file containing
all the emails/messages. Go to your profile folder in Windows and look
in the Mail sub-folder. You'll see files that have no extension and
names corresponding to the names of the folders in Mozilla. Those are
plain text files. Open them with Notepad or some other editor and
you'll see that all the messages are in that one file. The same-named
files with the extension .msf are index files and should NOT be backed
up; they will be recreated by Mozilla as needed.

What if there were no hypothetical questions?
