When the incoming email is open and I go to FileSave As, the default
Save in: folder is My Documents on my backup hard disc (D). When I
change the Save in: folder to anything else the nes filder does not
become the default. It always reverts to My Documents on D. If I can't
make Desktop the default is there a way to change the default to My
Documents on C?

You've received an email message and you've opened it. While it's
open, you use "File Save as" to save it: What's the default folder
that it opens to?

If you select /another/ folder (not the desktop) and save the message,
does this same folder become the default when you do your next Save As?

I'm not sure you can make desktop the default.

When I want to save an incoming message in OE I go to File, then
Save As. I get a diaog box with a "Save in:" bar which lists a
default folder, but it's one that I don't want to use. So I have
to use the pull-down menu to change this folder each time from
the default to the desktop folder, which I prefer. How can I
change the default folder to the desktop folder?
