Then open your word processing program, go to the Edit menu and click Paste. Then print it; or keep both programs open, Copy and Paste in turn from as many messages as you like into the one document, then print it at the end of the session." Alternatively, it may help save a tree and avoid storing and dealing with all that paperwork to use a computer-based approach. Some e-mail programs such as Eudora Mail allow you to create software folders and click and drag messages into them with the mouse. Then the messages are stored on your computer's hard drive. With folders for Paddlewise and sub-folders for topics you can construct a filing system that's fairly easy to scan through on screen, click to open a saved message, and see what's been posted before. I guess that will also make things easier for the FBI or whoever is loony enough and has excess time on their hands to investigate us! If your e-mail program doesn't have similar features you can follow Allan's procedure but paste into a new e-mail message that you address and send to yourself. Then you receive only the part you want to save or print. And you can change the subject however works for you. No headers, footers, long repeats, etc to deal with. This is a little more awkward, but it also works if you receive Paddlewise in digest form. You can just highlight and copy the messages or partial messages you want. There's other free software to deal with digest mail, and if I ever get it to work and anyone is interested, I'll post more info about that. Maybe someone else on the list has already mastered that and can tell us? By the way, Jackie hasn't reminded us recently, but we could all help reduce unnecessary volume by using the highlight and Cut function when we are replying to messages. There's often no need to retain the full text of a previous message in your reply. Also works on the accumulation of headers and footers.

You must be unaware that some Paddlewise participants have other lives in which they are often just one step ahead of inquiring govt. agents. I can only refer you to the Paddlewise archives, especially postings from Prof. Peregrine Inverberon and some of his acquaintances and associates. Tsk, it's sad to think of any ensuing further disillusionment this may lead to. :~> >What does "if you receive Paddlewise in digest form" mean?" - digest mail? > Yes, it's Paddlewise-digest.

<<< DanWhoSawTheSunTodayAfterFloyd>> |SandyWhoWasGrateful(and amazed)ThatWeDidn't EvenGetMuchRain (let alone the |tropical storm we expected) Probably due to sore knees after all that |praying! WE WERE SO LUCKY. |Where do you live? How much damage? I sent a larger Floyd Trip report late last night. T'ain't seen it this morning. I hope I sent it to the list! 8-) I'm in Cary, North Carolina which is in the Durham, Raleigh area in the central part of the state. We got lucky and Floyd just swiped us as he devestated the eastern part of the state. There is and will be more major flooding in the eastern part of the state. US70 and US64 are major east west roads. Both are flooded down east. I95 is still flooded. I40 is also flooded. Wilmington is completely cut off. Most of the major flooding is going to happen over the next couple of days. Everyone is lucky that Floyd did not hit the coast until it had weakened. I was very afraid that Floyd was going to hit Florida. That would have been much, much worse than what is going on here.... ThankfulDan. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
