Hi
sorry for my preceding post wich has wrongly been written in french;
here is the translation:

All is in the title; more accurately I would like to save, one by one,
some of my remails eceived in mail.app directly in word 2004 or 2008
format. Is it possible? Is there some specific software to accomplish
this task?
Thanks
Pedro

Why would you want to do that??

Perhaps to send as a document to someone who does not have a Mac?

The editor needs it in Word format so he can proofread better?

To save someone else the trouble of copy/paste especially if the mail is
forwarded and has a bunch of >'s?

It's already an email - why not just forward the email to them and let
them edit it in whatever program they want?

So why Word over something more generic like text? Windows computers can
open text documents, can they not?

Converting it to Word format won't magically remove > characters.

Sounds like you want more than just to convert an email to Word.
