Good morning. Does anyone know how I can save my e-mail on a floppy disk?
I use pine.

Daniel, one way to do what you wish is to type "e" after you have read 
the message you wish to save.  This option allows the message to be 
exported to a plain textfile on your system.  You must give it a 
filename.  After you have exited pine, download the file to your disk, 
and then delete it from the system on which you saved it before 
downloading it.  (Check before deleting to make sure the message has been 
saved to your disk.)

Or if you are using PC Pine for Windows just save (S) or export (E)
to c:\dirname\filename.txt

Good luck,
Nancy

It's evening right now :-)

What O.S. are you using?

If you're using Linux, then mount the floppy drive:
	mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy -t msdos
	
then goto your mail-dir:
	cd ~/mail

and copy the file saved-messages to /mnt/floppy

You have to save the messages in pine!!!
