Here's a nifty little (4k) free program that adds an option to save your email to a memo pad entry to the context menu in the email (and sms/mms messages, too).
thank you for those replies the 4k free program looks interesting- I will have to have a proper look at the memopad-where does it save the memopad files? or is the idea to save things as emails(what my dad does is cut and paste onto new emails and then saves the email)?
