Dear Friammers,
So, I am now safely installed in the MIB, and now I am trying to fulfill my promise to try to turn your excellent work concerning "What Pragmatism Is" into an editable text. I realize this is a project that only a mother could love, but humor me a little bit. So, the first method I tried, via Outlook, failed. Outlook apparently keeps its email messages disaggregated in something like a vast CSV file. When you ask for a single message, it re-aggregates the fields of the message and presents it to you. If you try to export a bunch of messages, it exports them as a CSV file or as a bunch of icons. There is no way that I can see to open all the messages of a thread into a single Word File for editing. There is no way to write macros for Outlook. So, that's the end of the Outlook line, for me, I think. My next thought was to work with the FRIAM archive. I thought perhaps I could import an entire thread from the archive, and since, as I remember, the archive is organized chronologically, I might have my rough editable file that way. I could then write a macro to delete unnecessary repetitive stuff, and would be done. However, I could not, following instructions on the FRIAM page, get into the FRIAM archive at all. If anybody has used it recently, could you get in touch? Thanks. Nicholas S.
