    Options are. "Download as XML", "Download as CSV", or "Download as Text".


    Before I remove all my PM from my inbox, which is the "best" choice?

    Thanks

    Text would be your best option. CSV would be useful if you wanted to manipulate your messages in Excel and generate some stats . If you want to import your messages into some home grown app, xml would be your best choice.

    Doh, how do you get to where you download PM's? And, remember, you can't outsmart me, 'cause I'm a moron.

    Go to your PMs, scroll all the way to the bottom where it says "Download all Private Messages as:" and select the "Text" link.

    Okay. I'd like to say that Terry stole that line from me - but I can't, as he didn't. :rofl:
