Ah, you have a point.  That I would spend so much energy trying to save the keystrokes involved in saving e-mail is probably a sign that computers have become too important in our lives, mine in particular.  After all, how hard can it be to open an e-mail, click Save As, navigate to the destination folder, decide what format to save it in (Txt, msg, html?), give the message some name that will have some meaning (I usually put the sender's name and the date plus something to indicate whether it is the 2d, 3d, 4th etc.) message from him or her on that date, and then repeat the process a dozen or two times a day.  How hard can that be?  As my dear departed and saintly mother used to tell me when I complained, "God send you no greater harm!"  Like all mothers, she was right, of course.

 

On the other hand, I couold  just drag the darned message into an Outlook folder and be done with it.  As long as I remember to look for a separate OL e-mail folder when I need to review a case electronically, I should be OK.  On the other hand, we get periodic demands from our network administrator that we are storing too much stuff in our mailboxes.  On the other hand maybe Outlook's AutoArchive will preserve that stuff for posterity rather than cluttering my mailbox. 

 

BTW, let me acknowledge the great help you provide on this BB to people like me, the computer world's poster child  for how a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.
