I'd rather have the 8 track. G

Just copy the files off the CD to a blank directory on the hard drive and
then select all of them and right click and go to Properties and clear the
read only attribute. Then go to File | Import | Messages and point to that
directory.

And put in an 8 track of Santana while you wait.

Hello - I purchased a new computer and backed up my email messages from my
old computer to a cd-rom\writer disk. Unfortunately the .dbx files come
over
as read only. I saw an KB article # 252603 that says to backup to a
floppy
or hard drive. Is there any other way to get these .dbx files onto a
cd-rom\writer disc without it being read-only? Unfortunately my new
computer
does not have a floppy drive. I thought that would be like asking for an
8-track in my new car.
