bbedit is for macs yes. there are pc equivalents I don't do windows, sorry. there is probably software available that can strip html tags, like html2txt, for windows, but all textfiles can be webpages, so you may just want to run html2txt a few through to see what it does. The problem is that you probably can't script it to function without the windows interface interfering, but perhaps you can, i don't know. I don't think that operating system is my ideal for this type of work. I'm sorry i can't help you further. On Monday, July 21, 2003, at 12:21 PM, Rhiannon Bury wrote:
I found html2txt but it seems to be designed for websites, not email: it asks for a URL. Not sure how to apply to email messages. Also, isn't bbedit a Mac editor? Is there an equivalent for PC?
Thanks.

Hi all:
Does anyone have a suggestion for a program that turns email messages (I use Netscape 7) into text files? I tried mail2txt but it included all the hidden html codes, which means I'll still have to strip each one individually. I'm trying to find the most painless way to get 4 months of listserv messages into text files so I can import them into QSR N6 for analysis! I was led to believe that this latest version of NUD*IST had a utility to do this itself ("swift data import"). But no! All documents must be text files, which was the case when I used it last a few versions back. Grrrr.
