I travel quite a bit and would prefer not to take
my laptop all the time. I've got an External
Hard drive that I keep all my stuff on and it's
convenient to just take it along and plug into
someone else's laptop where I'm at.

The only drawback is that I don't have my e-mails
that I have saved for flw up's, etc. Would be
nice
if I could somehow use my Outlook Express from
my External HD rather than the laptop's HD.

Any ideas???? Thanks !

You could create a folder on your external hard drive and drag email saved
for flw up's into the folder.

Each email would save as an eml file.
Notepad or any text editing program would read the eml files.
The eml files will use the email subject for the file's name, so emails with
the same subject will have the same name.

could I do a copy of the Local Folders onto my ext hard drive?

No.

That is why I said create a folder on the external drive and drag saved flw
up's into the folder.

You can create as many folders as you want.

With a few clicks you can select every message or selected messages in
Outlook Express and drag the bunch of them into your created folder.

It is going to take me longer to write this then to actually do it.

Create your folder on the external drive, drag it to the far right side of
the screen, open Outlook Express and resize the screen so you an see your
created folder, select the first message you want, scroll to the last
message and hold down shift key while clicking it, all messages in-between
will highlight, hold down the left mouse button and drag highlighted
messages to created folder. This will copy all selected messages into
created folder, they will have .eml extension

To select individual messages hold the ctrl key down when selecting each
message.

What program would I use to read these msg's on hard drive with ?

When you double click a message in created folder it should open in whatever
program the person uses for their default email program. If you have your
external drive plugged into a computer and their default email program is
Outlook
Express the message will open in Outlook Express.

And as Ron said you can use Notepad to open the messages.

Note: When viewing messages in created folder, I would choose View, on it's
menu choose Detail or List.
