What I had done previously was to highlight the email text and paste it.
Now instead I tried to follow your instructions.

I found the file-type Text Encoded.
I couldn't find "encoding" or "line feed" either as one or two lines.

I assume for this purpose, I should save the email to a file, which I did.
I chose file type "text encodied" and searched out the file (.eml) which
looked like raw html when I imported it.  I deleted all the html stuff on
top, and was left with a file that could not be justified or anything, and
had all the apostrophes and quotation marks replaced by some letter
and symbol crap.

Obviously, I'm not doing what you suggest, but I guess I just don't
understand.
