Can a folder containing received emails be sent through email?

[Kelli]

A student had the following question..


I had a situation yesterday where I needed to put several emails in a folder
and then e-mail that folder to someone else. Joyce and I couldn’t figure out
how to do it so we had to paste them to a word document and then e-mail that
document. What did we do wrong?

Hi Kelli,

you could create a new/additional Personal Folder PST file with the name:
"Documents" (File/Open/Personal Folder (.PST).

Create a new folder in this PST file like "Emails".

Move or copy the emails you like to send into this new Documents.PST file.

Close this Documents.PST file (click on Documents/right mouseclick/close
Documents.pst)

Search on your harddisk for *.pst and then you can send this "Documents.pst"
via email.

The reciever must move this PST on his harddisk and must open Outlook and
under "File/Open/Datafile" hecan select this "Documents.PST" and can open
all the emails.

That won't work in all versions, because .pst files are on the blocked files list in some versions. I'd use a zip file myself and store msg files in it.

Why not just select all the mails that need to be sent, then drag them
(together) into the new message?

Hi Sue,

you could also zip the PST file but you are right:

I'd use a zip file myself and store msg files in it.

this is realy the faster way.
