Hi, ok...this might be off the charts dumb...but...still have to ask...

We have limit of PM messages here...but...some of the PMs are just too important to delete...

Besides copying them and pasting into the notepad...while they lose their look and meaning...is there any other way to move them from the PM box and preserve original look and feel?

I know some of the forum sites offer an option to e-mail yourself PM intact...

Any suggestions?

I have saved some of my important ones, intact, by copying the entire PM box, and transferring it to a Word blank page. It goes onto there intact, and you can collect a bunch and keep going for pages, then save them. I use Word to collect and work on newspaper and online clippings at work as well; works the same. Does hold onto illustrations and graphics.

I didn't get this part...you will just have to teach me elsewhere...

You can download all PMs by using the appropriate links in your mailbox.

Regardless of the format, you will loose look & feel. The TEXT format will come very close, but you will receive plain text.

If you want to save look & feel, install a PDF printer like FreePDF (http://www.shbox.de/fpxp.htm), configure your browser properly and print the PM page as a PDF file.

I had 2 PMs by Meat personaly. I lost them on the way of years. I didn't delete them, just lost... is there any chance to get them back?

When did you "lose" them?

With years before... around 2003-2004...

I think, when the forum became this one...
