I create a "reply" message, and edited it to include only that part of the
original digest (as above) that I want to save. I don't actually send it,
but I use the "save as" to save that "file" anywhere I want, with whatever
title I want. Often, I add some comments before saving.

In this case, I am actually sending this "file" to the listserve, but I can
also save it anywhere I want on the computer.

Jessica--
I am using an archaic university system so--this is a little tedious--I
just download the entire digest, bring it up in MS Word and read it
there, highlighting and opening new documents to save anything I want to
keep. To save short bits of info, primarily web addresses or brief
lists of references, I use a wonderful, inexpensive program by 3M called
Post-it Notes. The notepad hangs around on your screen on top of
anything else you are running. You just click it to create a new note,
copy the material to it, then click back on your email screen. The
new note drops behind your active program and hangs around
on your desktop until you do something with it--you can save it or print
it as you like. (You can get a 30-day trial version of the program
free from http://www.mmm.com/psnotes. It's one of the best $30
investments I ever made!)

I have used 'Post-it' notes but have found a utility I like ever better.
It's called shorthand. I've used it for about 2 years. You can download a
full working demo from http://www.alumni.caltech.edu/~lim/shorthand
