573365 2007-07-27 23:53:00 I save all my messages in .msg format. The thing is that when I ‘save’ every message the default file type is HTML as I am sure you all know. Every time I save a message I have to use the pull down and change the file type.

My question is; can I change the default setting so it will be in .msg format to begin with?

573366 2007-07-28 00:30:00 Why save all your messages? If you want a backup do a export to a .pst file. I know this doesn't answer your question - I don't now the answer and never needed to to it. berryb (99)
573367 2007-07-28 00:38:00 I need to save each one to different locations etc, plus rename them Jackie (7301)
573368 2007-07-29 20:49:00 Anyone? Jackie (7301)
573369 2007-07-29 23:01:00 Outlook receives email by default as html format. You can change it to rtf or txt but msg is not an option.

Save them all into a folder and you can run a bulk renamer over them all to change the file extension.

Of you can just drag and drop your messages into a folder that way they retain their msg format and also they retain any html formatting and attachments.

But if you must backup the easiest way is what berryb said and export them to .pst
