 EMAIL SYSTEM REFERENCED IS OUTLOOK 2003

1)   CLICK- OPTIONS-EMAIL TO A FRIEND

2)   EMAIL IT TO YOURSELF…IN PERSONAL MESSAGE AREA ADD A TITLE THAT REFLECTS SUBJECT MATTER

3)   GOT TO YOUR COMPUTER EMAIL SYSTEM…IN MY CASE OUTLOOK

4)   EMAIL WILL BE FROM YOUR VZ FORUM NAME…TITLE WILL BE:AN INVITATION TO VISIT VERIZON FORUMS

5)   CLICK – FILE-SAVE AS …Eg. verizon-verizon forum(folders that you have created on your computer)

 

                                                                  Filename: Use title that you gave reflecting subject matter (same as in 2 above)

                                                                   Save as Type: Use Outlook message format

 

6) Later when you click on the file saved on your computer you will then be able to CLICK on URL and go directly to the Forum postings on that subject.

Would appreciate "modifications to procedure" by others who use different Email systems

I just Subscribe to topics of interest.  That way I get all posts in the thread emailed to me and I don't have to visit that tread again unless I want to reply. I use Thunderbird so all of them end up on my computer.  It only takes a click to delete messages I don't want to save.  If I see a thread I think will be good reference material, I bookmark it.  It's simple and gives me the entire thread for context.

When I see something useful, I simply select "Bookmark" from the Options drop-down menu.  The "Bookmarks" are located in MySettings.  One click required.
