Drag-and-Drop Emails into Windows folders!
Actually, it saved it as a .msg file, and was
freestanding. We weren't able to get the same result
using cut & paste, although I just did a "Save As" and
chose the .msg filetype, and it appears to have done the
same thing. I just highlighted 2 files and drag-and-
dropped them at the same time. So maybe it is the same as
the "Save As" option then, just more convenient...
Thanks for your response!
