If you want to be able to read then on the CD without importing them back
into OE:

Create a folder on your Desktop, then in Outlook Express open the folder
with the messages you want to save. Highlight one message, then Ctrl+A will
highlight them all, (or hold the Ctrl button down while you select only the
messages you want), Now, drag and drop them to the folder on your Desktop.
(Easiest if the folder shortcut is on the Taskbar).

Now you can copy that folder to a CD and you will be able to read the
messages on the CD by double-clicking on them.

The downside of this is that messages that have the same subject will be
overwritten. To avoid this, purchase:

Yes sure if this is your wishlist! The folders are normally located at
this place:

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{59BEEA22-B305-44D7-B678-A21E3B069C1A}\Microsoft\Outlook
Express

USERNAME = YOUR OWN USERNAME!

You may need to unhide all hidden folders to see them.

RTFM. Have you tried clicking the "help" button?

-------------------

To find where your folders are, open the Tools menu, click Options, click
the Maintenance tab, and then click Store Folder. Copy the contents of the
box (click at the beginning, hold and drag to the end to select, then CTRL-C
to copy,) and paste it into a Explorer window... there they all are.

-------------------
To compact and back up e-mail folders

1.. Select an e-mail folder.
2.. On the File menu, point to Folder, and then click Compact.
3.. To back up the folder, find the folder file, and then copy it to a
backup folder, floppy disk, or network drive. Outlook Express e-mail folders
have a .dbx extension (for example, "Sent Items.dbx").
Notes

a.. Some message files might be too large to back up onto a floppy disk.
b.. If you are using a program other than Outlook Express to send e-mail
messages to newsgroups, check your e-mail program's documentation for
information about compacting and deleting e-mail folders.
---------------------

Every bit of this information is right at your fingertips whenever you're
sitting in front of your computer, and you don't need the internet to find
it.

Thanks, Jan... but I know all that stuff cold. I've been using online
forums in one form or another for almost 25 years now and I used to run a
Fido-net BBS and moderate most of its local forums.

It may sound harsh when I talk to people that way, but believe me, it makes
a lot more sense to baldly tell people they already have what they need than
it does to coddle them and leave them unable to help themselves in the
future.
