Which Windows version, which email program ?

Why not just 'forward the emails' (select them all and click on forward) they'll then become attachments and send them to paypal.

That's how I've normally sent bulk email copies.

Else it's get a screen grabber, a print to jpg/pdf type program, or use Alt+PrtSc, if the emails will fit on one page will capture the current window (PrtSc on it own will capture the whole screen) then use 'Paste' <Ctrl+V> to put it in your email program.

make a new folder .inside create a text file by right click on the mouse.go to the email and right click select all ...then press copy.then go to your text file and press paste.save as text doc.that should do it.

i should add you can drag and copy just the text part of the email because select all copies everything on the screen as well.

Flaw with this method is anyone could just type the text* the Picture method or forwarded emails is far better as proof.

Again do not save the emails, but 'Forward' the emails or use the Screen Capture method.

The reason for the forwarded emails is it contains all the sender details as well, from which ISP etc.


*while technically you could alter an email also or photoshop pictures.

Download a free PDF printer and then "print" the file to PDF and save that.
