Saving Private Messages (not Ryan!)

[cavuman1]

My private message inbox is, at 125 messages sent and received, inching toward the 150 maximum permitted. Is there a method by which I could archive these en masse rather than cutting and pasting each individual message?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

In the lower right corner of the message panel is a box that says "move to folder"; select that and there are several download options - CSV, text, and something else.

Thank you for that excellent advice, MechEngr! I shall give it a go this evening,

Holy Thread Revival, Batman! Pursuant to relieving the bloat in my private messages, I created two new folders, Messages Sent and Messages Received. These folders are resident on the website's server. I exported the existing files into my new ones, but this did not reduce the counts in my sent and received folders. I guess I am being stubborn and/or stupid (my wife tells me so every day!), but all I'd like to do is to export my PPRuNe sent and received messages to an external word processor (Libre Office). Converting the files to text is not preferable since there is an overburden of information in that format. I welcome any suggestions, but will resort to cutting and pasting individual messages if that becomes necessary.

You have my thanks in advance!
