Dragging Email Messages In Windows Folders

W

Hi,

Some time back I used to manage my emails in windows folders by
selecting them all, dragging them from outlook (inbox) to a windows
folder. I had emails with similiar subjects. So the Email files (in
message format) were created by outlook like

filename = subject of message + autogenerated number (in case of
multiple messages with same subject)

Now after this new installation. When i repeat the same procedure...
Windows gives error "This folder already contains a file named
"subject of message"
Would you like to replace the existing file with another one?

So the list of many messages with the same subject is not copied to a
windows folder... Which settings should be altered to make it happen?

Thanks

I've myself found a cure that auto-generated same-subject-messages
work in Windows 2000 and Office 2002. But it does not work with
Windows 98 and Office 2002. If you've got 98, you can export to a PST
folder and then do the job in W2K installation.

Hope others might get help from this.
