Get XPsp2? I can drag messages to an Explorer window and they
all get automatically numbered.

BTW A clean way to save multiple messages is to select them all
in the message list and then use the Forward as Attachment command
(e.g. press Menu-w). Save that as *.eml and you can then open
the messages from it or drag them to Notepad window to browse them.
Additionally, if you use Quoted Printable as your Encoding method
you can browse the whole concatenated thread (including headers)
by dragging the *.eml file to a Notepad window.

Note: this method is sometimes referred to as "enveloping"
and is not dependent on OS or version.
