Cutting and pasting an email from Outlook 2013 and maintaining formatting

[Andy Pastuszak]

Is there any way to cut and paste and email from Outlook 2013 into Tiddlywiki and maintain formatting?

[Felix Küppers]

Yes, open the source of the email (http://www.extendoffice.com/documents/outlook/1794-outlook-view-email-source-code.html)

Then paste the html into a tiddler. In case wiketext rendering interferes with the html markup, change the tiddler type to "html markup".

That worked!  Thanks.

Only issue is you lose the from and subject line.  But that can be worked around very easily.

Would be nice to have a Outlook plugin to do it automagically, the way OneNote does it.

Hi Andy,

glad it worked.

Since all emails are stored in mbox or eml, it would be an idea to write a certain import module for this format, that way, also "from" and "subject" would be included. Maybe somebody pics this up at some point.

As far as I know, Outlook doesn't use either format.  It uses PST and OST files.  Not sure what  the structure is for those databases.
