You can Insert a .txt file into a new message ant then save it to a
folder
in OE. Can I ask what your ultimate goal is?

Does anybody know of a way to convert text or similar file types
into .DBX files? Running windows 2k and oe6. Help is greatly
appreciated.

Thanks for responding again Bruce,

I was able to extract my lost emails using DBExperss (thanks
to your suggestions), but now the lost mails are a large colletion of
text files, so I'm looking for a way to re-incorporate them back into
my inbox. Alos, I've heard that the inbox has a 2GB size limit... Do
you know if this is true?


DBXpress will have recovered EML files, not TXT files. You can drag one
or
more EML files into any open OE folder.

Correction: See Steve's reply.
