Archive/Download PM?

[CirTap]

Hi,

is there some method how to download/archive the content of the PM folders? I'd like to keep some of the PMs for personal reference onmy local box, but I can only see a "prune" option.

Thanx,
CirTap

There isn't sorry.

However, what you can do, is save the page as html. That's about the best we have.. one of the reasons, I prefer email for any important matters.

There is an option to send all emails you receive to your email address. This only works for received PMs though.

Tonie,

yes, I have that option enabled. but as you said, it gives me the incoming stuff only, and I usually remove the notifications from my local mailbox once I read the forum post or PM.

I guess I go brad's way and use Scrapbook to collect those "threads" from PM... and the purge the ole crap.
It'd be great though if there was some forum mod/extension to do this like in VB or IPB or ...

Thanx,
CirTap

Well, if you can find one on the simplemachines.org sites, we might be able to incoorporate it

Thanks for mentioning the Scrapbook extension for Firefox CirTap.  What an amazing extension.

thanx for looking, Marko. Pretty bizzare there's nothing available... well.

@MMMedia: you're welcome I totally agree, can't live without it anymore 
I used the "combine" feature to, well ... combine the thread of a PM into a single document.

Have fun,
CirTap

Do you have a link to the mod page, not just the download?
