Default Saving PMs to disk...

Guys,

Is there a convenient mechanism to save PMs out to a local disk? You guys (site admins) have been good about not deleting my old PMs (thanks!), but I'd really like to get this stuff saved off to my own disk at home, kind of like an email folder in outlook. There's stuff like phone numbers, email addresses, etc. that I'd like to keep.

Sorry if this question has already been asked/answered. Doing one at a time will be an annoyance for me.

I dont think so George. There was a tidy up a long while back where old ones were deleted, in a batch IIRC

I copy/paste important bits to either a Word Perfect or MS Word Doc. If you want to preserve the dates, times, and who sent it, then go the PM, hit "reply", THEN copy all you see there. If need be, you can alwasy copy/paste it back in a new PM to yourself to see it in its original form.

It's a great idea for v4 and I'll see if we can work it in if not for the first go then soon after. The function doesn't currently exist.
