Using Outlook Express and Win XP.
I have funny emails that I'd like to keep in my inbox, but I have so many,thought I'd put them on a CD to save them. Whole inbox will be copied to CD. Any way to copy these files and to be able to read them in something other than Outlook.

There are a couple of back-up programs for OE that may work.

What I do, is save messages individually as either e-mail .eml
Or when appropriate, HTML
That way, and program that can open the file type can be used.

.eml files can be opened with a text editor.

HTML messages can be opened with a web browser.

You Export all the E-mail you wanna backup into one File *.pst and you can copy it to a CD.

When you need to open it back you can go to outlook and open a personal folder and select this file from the CD.

Go to "File" then "Import & Export" then "Export to *.pst" and select the e-mails folder you wanna export.
