Could anyone tell me how I may insert a Thunderbird email into a Word document please. I want it to appear as part of the full communication and not "attached" or "linked" in any way.

Thank you.

Hi Ian, do you need something more than the message body content?

If you open the message, select the entire body (click in the body, then Ctrl+a), copy and then paste into Word, does that do what you need or is something missing?

When I need message headers along with the message body, I usually open the message, click Forward and then do the select all, copy, paste (and close/discard the forward).

Does any of that meet your needs?

Hi jscher2000,

My goodness bu that was a quick response -- thank you.

I have almost resigned myself to doing just as you describe (Forward, copy, paste etc) but just wondered if there was a magic key sequence that would solve it all in one go.

Oh well, everyone knows I'm lazy now!!

Thanks again.

Ian
