Guy:

I have tried both your suggested options and sorry to say they didn't work

As a matter of fact, Method 2 looked good BUT I can't even add another mailbox to dump all the messages to even try to send.

Still can't get these files sent

Are you saying that you could not add a directory to your Pegasus Mail folder list?   If not, there is a caveat to Guy's instructions that you may not be aware.  The Folder pull-down menu in Pegasus Mail is dynamic which means is changes depending on the Pegasus Mail window that is active at the moment.  In order for the "Add mailbox to list..." option to appear in the Folder pull-down menu the Pegasus Mail Folder window must be open and active. 

Once you get a windows folder (directory) added to the Folder list you can copy all of the messages into it.  When you are done you right click on it and select "Disconnect this mailbox".  That windows folder now contains all of the messages including the attachments.  Each message will exist as it's own .cnm file.  This may be a problem for the recipient if he/she does not use Pegasus Mail.  In that case you might be better off forwarding the messages either individually or attached to a new message(s).

Hello Gentlemen

I am an officer in an alumni association and I have kept on forgetting to ask a "how to" question for some time. Over a period of time I have created and placed related items into a file that currently has some 40+ messages. I want to develop and send this entire file (complete with attachments) to another officer which all this information is now going to fall in his domain. This will also allow me to delete and create more space from my own storage files..

I have noticed at the top under folder ...after opening the folder where the items are listed...something that says "save messages to a disk" CTRL +S

I have tried that but it doesn't work for what I want to do as I was hoping they would all go (including attachments) to a floppy or even something to send?

What would I need to do to get everything...the whole file..including attachments into some kind of folder to send

Thank you in advance

If the person you wish to provide this information to uses Pegasus

Mail you could provide them with a copy of the Pegasus Mail folder in

the form of the .pmm/.pmi file pair.  You could also convert the

messages in the folder back to individual .cnm (new mail) files and

provide them that way in a subdirectory they could add to their folder

list.  Do this by adding a subdirectory to your folder list then copying

the messages into it.

If they don't use Pegasus Mail then you can forward the messages

or look into some sort of conversion tool.  Converting message from

Outlook to Pegasus has been asked several time so a search of the forum may turn up something useful for going the other way.

option saves the contents of the message (s) as text which is a problem

for maintaining attachments.

 Method 1 - Forwarding messages (including any attachments) as attachments:

Highlight all of the desired messages and press the Forward button (or F key).
Dialog: Forward message to
  Select the Forwarding method:
    [x] Start a new message with the messages attached

Method 2 - Saving 'Raw' messages to disc:

Create a directory on the disc
  e.g. C:\Alumni
In Pegasus...
Menu: Folders > Add mailbox to list
Dialog: Add a mailbox to your folder list
  [x] Directory path: C:\Alumni
  Name for mailbox: Alumni

Highlight all of the desired messages and either Copy or Move them to the 'New mail folder' in the Alumni mailbox.
Each message, including any attachments, will be saved as an individual ASCII text mail .CNM file in the C:\Alumni directory.

Thank you Guy & bfluet

I will try all the options provided and will report back soon 

Thank you both for your help

I have a utilty in the Community download area called NotSPLIT, which creates individual messages from the chosen folder, including any attachments.

 You can get it here: http://community.pmail.com/files/folders/utils/entry3962.aspx  Running instructions are on the first dialog screen.
