When you are in message reading mode, you can press Alt-W in order to invoke the mail export dialog. This dialog looks like this:
*---------------------- Export File ----------------------* | Name of file to export? | | mail.txt | | Ok ! Cancel ! | | ********** ********** | *---------------------------------------------------------*
It seems very simple to use at first glance. Simply write a name of a file to export the mail to into the dialog field and then press Enter to start the action.
And indeed you can export mails in this way. Mails that have been exported in this way are suitable to be re-imported into MsgEd TE by pressing Alt-R when you are in the internal message editor. This is often useful when you want to copy a part of a mail and insert it into a new message you are composing.
However, if you look at the file that has been generated with a text editor, the result will be dissatisfying. Read on below to find out why.
