I'd like to make a database information from a newsgroup. Is there an
inexpensive way to mass convert downloaded messages to a simple text file? How about individual posts to seperate text files? Thanks |

If I see any I like I copy and then paste into notepad and have built up
quite a library over the years. I then save in "My documents". I do the same with the emails I wish to keep as it makes it much easier in transferring to a new computer.

With an appropriate NNTP client, sure, but none of this is an Outlook issue because Outlook doesn't "do" NNTP (without add-ins). Google for "convert nntp text" and see what you find. nget and perl might be able to do the job. -- Brian Tillman |
