To volunteer my solution: I use Eudora light as my email program. It has
the capabilities of making mail folders so I have an MG folder with 16
different subfolders, each on a different topic (alternator, brakes,
electrical, etc.), and those specific messages that are saved are saved in
a folder.
The program also has the capability of writing to a text file, so the x
responses I want to save on a topic are saved as a single file which is
then edited, printed & inserted into a notebook.
Doesn't matter. My infolder for MG has 3200 messages to be edited. Not only
are we passionate for the car, we are passionate for words, too.
Good thing big HD's are fairly cheep.
