What old version still has "save as HTML with index"? years of stuff!
I've been using T'Bird forever. (Mosaic 0.62b in 1994!)I've been using T'Bird forever. (Mosaic 0.62b in 1994!) I have a small number of folders with which I have been using "Save as HTML c/w Index". Or, rather, //had been using//. Shocked to find that this function is no longer. Many, many EMail now stranded … far too many to save singly. And I need that index.
With what version was that lost? which older version will still have it?
I have copied all data so testing will be fail safe.
please reply
TIA

I know not of which version had that feature last, but you can get this function in the latest version via an add-on called ImportExportTools NG. It lets you export ALL messages in a folder to HTML, which includes the index, among other handy features. Give it a try.
Thanks for that. I've seen links to that add-on. By looking at the date of the last heap c/w index I saved, I can track down what version I had used.
thanks again

I think you will find it was always provided with an add-on as HTML is a very poor format for archiving emails.
I think you are simply ignoring my existence as a human person.
I found in many instances that "Save as HTML c/w Index" produced a very useful heap.
Maybe you should care more about UseCase and less about your personal preference. Perhaps this is why I stopped upgrading //any// Mozilla software years ago? (Read: I started on this stream in 1994. Whether you care or not.)
That was a useful function. To some of us. Not for you? Well ... there's the politics that moved me to abandon this entire project.
p.s. long/short: it was wonderful for me. he thinks it was a waste of cycles. so it was removed from code.
p.s. I took the time / made the effort to reread your spew, in case I got you wrong. no such luck.
Is any part of this both plainly meaningful and technically correct? "I think you will find it was always provided with an add-on as HTML is a very poor format for archiving emails."
Like every huxster, you simply dismiss my experience / UseCase. No ... not only as an AddOn. In fact, having selected a number of messages, "Save As" offered a number of options. I don't mind you being simply wrong. But I find your pretended superiority offensive. (Wanna strut? at least don't be just plain wrong.)
Surely what you mean is "I never used this; didn't like it; thought it lame." Long/Short all you wanted to communicate was contempt.
Addendum: Back when Netscape "released the code" I was one of those who dove in to try and curate the documentation. (I'm sure you don't care about my personal history with MilSpec documentation!) I suffered Mozilla politics for almost 2 years. I've watched the software and its flat-spin death-spiral ever since, with a sense of personal loss. Folk like Matt add so little more than their personal stink.
