How To Save Sign in PaperWise

So every once in awhile when you're dealing with email you get a message that's very important or you need to actually save it out as a document somewhere. So you don't want to just put it in a special mailbox or flag it or something like that. You actually want to take it out or mail and have it saved separately. Maybe put it into a project folder for work or something like that. There are several ways to do that. Let's look at each one so you can figure out which one is right for a situation. Here's the message I've selected. Let's say I'm going to go ahead and save this out as a file. I go to File, Save As and there are actually three different options here. Under Format there's Raw Message Source, Rich Text Format, or Plain Text. I'm going to try each one. I'm going to save to the desktop. Notice you get a title here or a file name that's the subject of the email by default. But you can change it to whatever you want. Dot .eml is what you get when you select Raw Message Source. So let's save that out. Save As and do it as a Rich Text Format and you get .rtf for rich text format. I'll save that out. Save As for the third one let's do Plain Text and .txt is what we get there. Now there's a fourth option as well. This isn't in the Save As menu. This is separate. It's Export as PDF. When you select that you get a .pdf. You can hit Show Details and you can actually change things like the size of the page for the pdf to format itself to. But most of the time you're just going to use it as the default in your system. I'm going to save that out and I get my fourth option. So let's take a look those. I'm going to hide Mail here and here are the four files. Now what happens when, let's start with .txt. When I double click on that and it's going to open up in TextEdit. It's actually going to bring it up and here's what it looks like. It's going to look kind of techie. It's going to give you From, Subject, Date, To. A bunch of header information here. It's going to translate everything to text. This isn't going to be good if there's images or if there's nice formatting in the email. So if you're just trying to save the text of the email, maybe somebody sent you a list of information, this is probably a good option. But it's not for anything that's remotely complicated. RTF is going to give you some text formatting. You can see how this link here is blue and underlined. There's the bold here that was kept. So a certain amount of formatting is going to be kept in place with rtf. A better option....
