For those of you who, like me, have changed Clayart message to "digest," and
who may not be quick to figure out how to save only those parts that are
useful, I hit on something yesterday! Instead of having to hand-write the
info/formulae/etc. that I wanted to keep before trashing the bulk of the
info (which, of course, I read, line-for-line...) I found a way to copy
sections to my "clipboard" and then print out only those short bits rather
than the entire 500 plus lines in any segment.
I'm running Windows '95--room for another long discussion here--and bring up
the "Clipboard Viewer" from the start-up list concurrently with the e-mail
messages. When I find a section I want, I highlight it, choose "edit,"
"copy" (or the keyboard shortcut ctrl+c) and it moves to the clipboard. I
switch to the clipboard and immediately give that file a name (click File
and Save As) that will help me identify it later, since it will be wiped out
by the next item I copy to the Clipboard. I switch back to e-mail and keep
reading.
Love this service, although I hate trying to keep caught up sometimes.
Thanks for all your help out there.

I use Eudora, and I do something a little different. I send the 'wanted'
piece of information to myself and file it. For example; I created a mailbox
called 'glazerecipe'. Whenever I want to keep a glaze recipe, I select
'forward mail' from the menu, I then highlight all of the unwanted text, and
send the message to myself. I trash the original message, and when I receive
my own message I save it in the 'glazerecipe' mailbox. I also change the
subject line to the name/color of the glaze. When I am looking for
something, I just open the appropriate mailbox, select edit and then I
select sort and sort by subject, date or whatever. I set it up just like a
filing cabinet. Since it works so great for me, I just thought I would share
it with everyone.

not, so to speak, to beat a dead horse, but i do something yet a little bit
different. i also use eudora, but when i see a message that i want to save,
i simply do a 'save as' to my desktop (i'm a mac user) and use the name
given or change it to one more relavant to the actual topic. it saves as a
word processing file. periodically i clean out the unwanted/unneeded text
and either print the docs or save them in electronic folders by category
(glazes, kilns, plaster molds, etc.) that i can return to whenever. fast,
useful and easy. aren't computers great tools?
