I quote my original post:

I  actually just tried again with this whole thread, and I got
one Text Edit document with zhmmy's, James, and Al Poulin's
headers only but no post text, then Ron Steinke's header and his
post and all the typical list footnotes, then James, Alex, and Roger's
headers without content. At the end of the file is my second post
with headers, content, sig file, and footnotes. Then some more
headers: Alex with no content, then my original post with headers,
text, and footers.

Since I want to archive several years of email, I need to be
able to save whole threads as single .rtf files.
