Hi,
I have been saving multiple messages into one text file using Outlook 2000 without any problem. I have recently upgraded to Outlook 2003 (Office 2003 Pro Version) and am experiencing the same problem of having no message body only - From: Sent: To: and Subject: - is saved. If you find a solution, I would appreciate any help you can offer. It looks like MS has enhanced another application at the same time as adversely affecting other features.

Thanks much
Handall

     Well, that did work -- sort of. There is still on problem. For a lot of
     the email messages I am trying to save, all I find in the resulting text
     file is a series of headers. The body of the message is not saved.
     
     What puzzles me (and makes me think I am perhaps still doing something
     wrong) is that SOME of the messages will save with the body intact; others
     will not. So far, I can not see any pattern hinting at why some messages
     save with message body, and others save only the header.
     
     Any thoughts? Any way to "bulk save" these files as individual text
     messages (without having to save every one individually, one at a time)., I
     need to save these messages as text files, but do not care if they end up in
     one big file, or a number of small ones.
     
     Thanks
