I needed to gather about 50 emails into a single file so I could sift through them and pull out a variety of information. Going through them one at a time in Mail was going to take longer than I wanted, or was willing to do at once, so I decided to save them to a single file so I could do it later.

It turns out to be very simple: you select the relevant emails, in my case the result of a search, and do a “Save As..”. At this point you have a choice of how to save them, and I chose the default “Rich text Format”. I ended up with one file with all 58 emails in it.

Now I can open it in TextEdit and delete the parts I don’t want.

It’s happening again due to popular demand! Another fine Introduction to Mac workshop, a little less on the verbose side this time though. Tom and Dave will entertain you through the three hours of enlightenment, with an hour at the end for Q&A.

The short version:

Saturday June 7th, from 1 to 5 PM, at the School of Photographic Arts on Dalhousie, Tom Leroux and David Rostenne will teach an Introduction to the Mac course, “from the outside in”. We will be covering the Finder in depth, System Preferences, and brief overviews of Address Book, Mail, Safari, iCal and iTunes.

There will be time at the end to address specific questions, which we expect will arise. The cost is a very reasonable $79, and to register, you can either call (613) 562-3824 or email admin@spao.ca Register soon, because seating is limited!

The longer version is on Tom’s blog: http://www.leroux.ca/archive/dsp_view_501.cfm

Course details are also available on the SPAO site at http://www.spao.ca/summerpdf/2008/summer23.pdf

Hope to see you there!
