OT - Retention of emails
Hi Tony,
If they are important, screen capture will save them forever. I have OE going back 2 years, and it must be substantial because when I do my housekeeping with "CrapCleaner" the program spends a great deal of time scanning my "saved" folder. More than any other folder on my computer. R "Tony Vella" wrote in message ... Just out of curiosity, how long do you keep emails you receive and emails you send on your CP?

Everything I send, Gmail has a copy of. Its quota for my usage is growing faster than my needs are growing, so: never? Rodney, why save screen captures? Why not save text? That way you can search through them later. -- Joshua H. McGee San Marino, Los Angeles, California, USA, Earth Member: APS, ATA, ISWSC, MBPC Trade?: http://www.mcgees.org/stamp-offers/ |

Interesting Joshua, it is a juggling act, depending on the better format. Mine is basically an image driven database, and screen capture is really the ideal archival method for brevity. The parameters are driven by the post, if the text able to be contained in the screen borders, I'll screen capture. Lengthy replies, or multiple posts, I'll "combine and decode" and paste unformatted to a MSWks word doc. My search engine will find words in the doc, and I'll add pertinent words to the image file name so that the engine will add those. The advent of the long file name was a blessing in that regard. A screen capture also adds the benefit of the author and date. A screen capture takes about 5 seconds, CTRL/Shift/P and a name....done. "Joshua McGee" Rodney, why save screen captures?

If there is anything real special I put it in the SAVED MAIL box and even that gets dumped on occasion. Ralph |
