An easy way to archive your PMs

[mikey]

Alright, my PM box is getting BIG!

And I don't want to save the many PMs by hand (not to mention they all want to save themselves as privmsg.php - which is fine, but it needs renaming each time, which isn't very fine), isn't there something that can be done? Something like "SelectAll -> Export". ^_^

Or a trick, as long as the message texts can be seen with a simple text viewer, I'd be happy.

Is it close to the limit? When my box gets that big, I just bump up the limit.

Apart from that, the only other alternative would be for me to put together some sort of database dump.

Rofl... thats exactly what I do too =D. I think the limit is somewhere around 300 or more message now on the Gemot, and I'll soon have to be bumped up to 400 =D.

It's not, embarrassingly it's just 14% full, but it's 5 pages of received and another 5 pages of sent, that's 200 or so messages I think, and I'm an offline person and want my mails archived

A database dump is perfectly fine.

EDIT: And I want to delete them, I am somehow a very tidy person. I hate to have things unordered or just unavailable - in fact it often happened that when I was at work (in the game design positions), it actually looked like I wasn't doing anything - most of the designers and graphics guys and priogrammers have heaps of books and papers and post-its and their lunch (from two days ago) on the tables and I had vitrually nothing - not only tidy, but minimalist as well.
