I moved all the messages that I wanted in Mozilla Messenger to a new sub folder. I then delved deep into Windows Explorer and found the Mozilla Messenger file where the messages had been saved. The email file itself has no file extension so it was a bit of a hassle but I got there.

I then tried to open the file using Outlook. All it did was open a new message with the file as an attachment. Bummer.

So I opened the file in Wordpad (Word itself wouldn't open it!). So I've now saved that as a text file. And it's this file I'll be sending to my customer - he's the guy that actually needs all this old data.

So yeah, a bit of a roundabout way of achieving what I wanted without having to manually copy and paste a zillion lines of info.

Thanks for the replies.
