Scottie,

When using Outlook, open the email that you wish to save.  You can't just have it open as the little preview at the bottom;  you have to actually double-click on it to open it fully.

Then choose File... Save As... and save the email as a text file to your 3.5" floppy drive.  To change to the floppy drive, just click on the down arrow next to Look In: and select 3.5" Floppy A:.  

(Is that what they call it in the U.K.?  A 3.5" Floppy?  Or do you convert it to metric? A 9cm Floppy...?)

Regards,
Cecilia.
(If I wrote my software manuals the way that I write my emails, they'd drum me out of the dry prose brigade.)
