journalists in an OS

[Alan Klein]

Ralph,

Here's another suggestion, rather than deleting the message. It requires a
bit more work on your part, but isn't too onerous:

1. Highlight all of the text in a message (Often this can be done by hitting
Ctrl-A).
2. Copy it to the clipboard (Ctrl-C or Edit - Copy or Right-click - Copy or
hit the Copy button)
3. Open your Word Processor (you don't need to close your e-mail program)
4. Paste the text into the empty word processing document (Ctrl-V or Edit -
paste or Right-click - paste or hit the Paste button)

You can then change the font as you would like to make it more readable.
