Subject: RE: BS: Is there a quick way to read all PM's
You may be able to speed your review up a bit if you have some time, when you're a bit bored to:

1. Open your personal page

2. View the list of PMS

3. Right click on them one at a time and "Save Target As"

3a. Note: The default filename is the same for all, so you'll have to number each one by clicking on the filename and putting a unique identifier in the filename box for each message.

3b. Once you've selected a folder on your own machine to put them in, they should continue to default to that folder until you change it.

The messages will save as .htm files. Since there should be no "embedded" stuff, they should be a single file for each message, i.e. no attachment folders.

Once all the files are on your own machine, going through them even one at a time should be fairly quick, since they'll open almost instantly from your local drive.

A "test run" on a couple of messages took only a couple of seconds for each save, but the 'cat is running about as well as ever at the moment.
