Gmail question...

[Maakt Droog]

I have had this problem as well, although it stopped occurring after my first couple of opponents. Not sure if there is a reason for that or if it was just coincidence. (I access my gmail through firefox, in case that matters.)

Anyway, here is what I did to capture the pbem data. I would first select the "show original" feature. It is located as part of the scroll down of options in that little triangle button next to "reply" at the top of the email message.

The "show original" gives you a text display. You can then place your cursor at the start of the pbem. Then control-shift-end to go all the way to the bottom of the text. You'll need to scroll up a couple of lines (while holding down shift and the up arrow) to get to the end of the pbem file. This gives you the entire pbem file in just a couple of key strokes which you can copy. It spares you the misery of dragging the scroll bar down.

Paste it into notepad (or something similar). Hit save as and save it to your pbem folder. You can also select the prior pbem file name, while in save as, to copy, paste and edit for the next file number.

This process is by no means ideal, but after you do it a couple of times, its relatively quick.

I hope this is helpful.
