How do I turn email into a document?
A few months ago I did up a missing-pet email spoof. I was going to post it here using the Upload Spider but it either comes out as a copy of the complete email page or as text only with the picture and background stationery deleted.
I've tried moving it to My Pictures, thinking that I could trim off the email details. That hasn't worked either because I can't save it in JPEG format.
I have email addresses with Outlook Express and Yahoo, but can't do what I want to do with either. Has anyone got any ideas?

Have you tried copying it (via the clipboard) into something a bit more advanced than notepad? I'd imagine something like Word woould be able to handle it.
I'm assuming you've included the image in the body of the message, rather than as an attachment.
Alternatively, what about recreating it from scratch? If you've got the text and image that shouldn't be too difficult. Not sure about the background though.

If you can view it all on the screen you could do a print screen, take it into MS Paint, trim off the excess and save it as a jpeg.

Thanks for these ideas, folks. I'll give them a try.

I made it into a Word document nice and easy, had to fiddle with the photo a tad but it all came through. Linked to Upload Spider but it failed. This was the message:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
Maybe the work computer's firewall is blocking it, or something...???
