Why don't you put them in a file, add new emails to the file as they arrive and every so often copy them to a CD-R.

1. Open Notepad or your wordprocessor.
2. Click on the main body of the email, then Ctrl + A together (select all), then Ctrl + C (copy).
3. Click on notepad then Ctrl + V (paste).
4. Save the notepad file, as, say, "PrivateMail".
5. The next time you get one, open "PrivateMail" and repeat the above to paste the email at the beginning of the file so that the latest ones appear first.

Yes, its possible to copy any format onto a CD. The CD simply acts as the media format, its whether or not you have something to translate the information that you have stored.

Just hightlight (select by clicking and dragging over wanted content) the necessary things from the email, i.e. Text and pictures, save them into Word or Notepad (notepad for text only, it cannot reproduce pictures) and then burn the saved Word file onto CD.... you have XP Home, so either use software like Nero to burn the disk, or use XP's built in features, i.e. drag the Word document into the CD Burner in 'My Computer', then you should get a message to say 'you have files waiting to be written to CD' or words to that effect, pop up in a balloon in the bottom right of your screen. Simply click the balloon and away you go.

Hope that made 'some' sort of sense, I tend to rabbit a bit...... : D

Best of luck,

Alex

Thanks to hawkinsa2 and
Burr Walnut for your replies,
I forgot to mention that the
content in the e-mail is music
from a radio station. I e-mailed
the program to my other e-mail address
hoping to copy it to a CD. Many thanks
anyway.
