weelittledrummer,

what e-mail programme are you using? It used to be when I was using MsOutlook (I think) at one of the zillions of places I have worked, that I could highlight (in the full list of emails in my inbox or other folders) all the emails I wanted to copy and then right mouse click, choose "save as" and then choose file format as "text file" and save it as a text file to be opened in MsWord. I could then open the file, all the emails would be there - in whatever order I had had the email listed sorted originally, e.g. date, and then I could save the file within MsWord as a Word document.

I don't know if other mail programmes can do this.   It means not having to open every single email and copy it.

This trick was really useful for me when I was being mercilessly bullied by the boss, who preferred email communication, because I could keep a record of our communications in case I had to defend my actions if challenged.
