Whe I save to my computer folder, I have these options.
Whis one will be the best for future use? (And should I default when I save
to it? If so, how to do that?)
I have Outlook 2007 for e-mails and Vista Ultimate.
Thanks in advance.

2. You and the referenced article mention that I would automatically save to
an Explorer Folder when I drag. Where is my "Explorer Folder" in my
Outlook? I don't see it, unless it might have another name.
Tahnks again

When you use File>Save As for an HTML-formatted message, the default will
always be HTML (.htm, .html). Drag the message to a Windows folder for direct
conversion to .msg.. This begs the question: why do you want to save these
messages outside of Outlook?

Open the Windows folder in Windows Explorer first. Then drag the message to
the folder.

Also: I ahve a buch of ".email" saved from my old "ms.com" in my explorer.
Is there a way to convert these to the new formats so I could then read them
with Outlook when I finally get rid of MSN? (Will do that soon. I was told
to read them as hotmail, that will be a future issue for me how to do that,
but for now I want to see if the conversion from msn to msg or one of these
forms is possible)
Thanks again.

In my opinion, it is better to leave it in Outlook and make sure you back up
the Outlook data frequently.

What's their file types?

Saved from MSN and their ending is ".email"
I have these saved in a folder in the C drive.
Now that I am using Outlook and will get rid of MSN, I think that unless I
do not do something or change their ending I would not be able to read them
again after I cancel my MSN subscription.

Do you have an MSN client or are you using a web browser to view your mail?
How did you export (generate) those .email files?

Again, how did you create the .email files?

You should be able to export them from the MSN client in a format other than
the e-mail; one that Outlook can import. Have you looked at what formats MSN
can export?

To get them into Outlook, you can make a connection to your Hotmail/MSN
account via the Outlook Connector.
You can download that here;
