Error saving web page

I don’t know if this is the correct place to post this.
My Yahoo mailbox tends to fill up. I’ve been saving those emails that were important to me in a folder on my hard drive. Recently, I’ve been unable to save Yahoo mail web pages. It seems that things are “saving”, and then I get “Error saving web page”.
Does this happen because Yahoo mail is encrypted? I’m using IE 5.5. Could I get around this by moving up to IE 6? Does anybody know of another work around other than opening a new email box (got to let everybody know my change of address) or buying more mailbox space from Yahoo ($)?

You could aways just highlight the desired text you want to save, copy it, and paste it in a text file. I know that doesn't really solve your problem, but you asked for a workaround. :)

Thanks Luna M.
I went to the "help" section of Yahoo and they give intructions for saving web pages that now do not work.
Maybe it's a temporary Yahoo glitch. Maybe it's a change in their security. Maybe it's a change in their policy.
