| 75059 | 2002-08-30 07:44:00 | I have received an email in german and tried to save the text on my desktop, so That I could open it and translate it with babel fish. But once I succeeded in saving it in a folder and successively on my desktop, I found out I could neither open it as a text message with babel fish, nor with notepad for it was a .DBX? What am I doing wrong? How can I change a .DBX file into a .TXT file? Can you please help? Dankeschen....... |

The message should still be accessible through your e-mail program. Open the message and then use the "Save As" option in the File menu. Alter the the file extension to .txt and then save where-ever you need it. | Gorela (901) | ||
