I'm just curious as I am expecting emails in from different companies and as I don't normally receive emails from them I don't know just what I'm looking for when they come in to my in box, and as I'm sure you can appreciate I don't want to just open any email if it doesn't sound familiar many thanks susan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sabrina McKiernan" <sabmckiernan@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 3:02 PM Subject: [vicsireland] Re: saving an email Hi Susan, Is it saving an email which has a file attached? If so: 1. highlight the email. 2. activate the file menu. 3. go to 'save attachments' submenu and hit enter. the name given to the file should appear. hit enter again. 4. the normal save as dialogue box will come up. asking for file name... then in the 'save in' box you can do whichever you do usually. hit the number 3 for 3 and a half inch floppy or arrow to the floppy drive and hit enter. 5. just do alt s or tab round to save button.
